  2. 1. Automatic Instance-based Tailoring of Parameter Settings for Metaheuristics

    Author : Felix Dobslaw; Theo Kanter; Åke Malmberg; Thomas Bartz-Beielstein; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : Algorithm Configuration; Parameter Tuning; Parameter Control; Metaheuristics;

    Abstract : Many industrial problems in various fields, such as logistics, process management, orproduct design, can be formalized and expressed as optimization problems in order tomake them solvable by optimization algorithms. However, solvers that guarantee thefinding of optimal solutions (complete) can in practice be unacceptably slow. READ MORE

  4. 2. Models and Metaheuristics for Real-World Applications of Location and Vehicle Routing Problems

    Author : Marduch Tadaros; Athanasios Migdalas; Ioannis Marinakis; Björn Samuelsson; Sergiy Butenko; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Vehicle Routing; Facility Location; Metaheuristics; Supply Chain Network Design; Kvalitetsteknik och logistik; Quality Technology and Logistics;

    Abstract : The supply chain's underlying infrastructure affects the efficiency and design of distribution routes. As such infrastructure is associated with substantial capital investments, it is crucial to consider the network design and the location of various facilities. READ MORE

  5. 3. A bilevel approach to parameter tuning of optimization algorithms using evolutionary computing : Understanding optimization algorithms through optimization

    Author : Martin Andersson; Amos Ng; Sunith Bandaru; Kalyanmoy Deb; Juergen Branke; Högskolan i Skövde; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Production and Automation Engineering; Produktion och automatiseringsteknik;

    Abstract : Most optimization problems found in the real world cannot be solved using analytical methods. For these types of difficult optimization problems, an alternative approach is needed. READ MORE

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Complex Systems – Microdata Analysis; Komplexa system - mikrodataanalys;

    Abstract : Combinatorial optimization problems, are one of the most important types of problems in operational research. Heuristic and metaheuristics algorithms are widely applied to find a good solution. READ MORE

  7. 5. Enhancing Differential Evolution Algorithm for Solving Continuous Optimization Problems

    Author : Miguel Leon; Ning Xiong; Yigen Zenlander; Peter Funk; Ronnie Johansson; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer Science; datavetenskap;

    Abstract : Differential Evolution (DE) has become one of the most important metaheuristics during the recent years, obtaining attractive results in solving many engineering optimization problems. However, the performance of DE is not always strong when seeking optimal solutions. It has two major problems in real world applications. READ MORE
