Multi-objective optimisation with a sequence-based selection hyper-heuristic [PDF]
, 2016 Hyper-heuristics have been used widely to solve optimisation problems, often single-objective and discrete in nature. Herein, we extend a recently-proposed selection hyper-heuristic to the multiobjective domain and with it optimise continuous problems ...

The power of expressed humility: Early stage investors' reaction to humble entrepreneurs
Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Research Summary We examine how entrepreneur‐expressed humility affects early stage investors' willingness to fund new ventures. In pitching contexts where investors rely on relational cues and implicit prototypes of entrepreneurs, we theorize three distinct pathways through which expressed humility shapes funding decisions. First, building on

CUSTOMHyS: Customising Optimisation Metaheuristics via Hyper-heuristic Search
SoftwareX, 2020 There is a colourful palette of metaheuristics for solving continuous optimisation problems in the literature. Unfortunately, it is not easy to pick a suitable one for a specific practical scenario. Moreover, oftentimes the selected metaheuristic must be

Fragment‐Block: A Novel Approach for Managing Variability in Software Product Lines
Software: Practice and Experience, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Changes in the functionality of a software product line (SPL) can generate various issues in the SPL source code. Their complexity depends primarily on the amount of changes in the SPL source code and the internal mechanisms for managing variability. Further, modern development frameworks rely on a variety of artefacts besides source

Automated construction of evolutionary algorithm operators for the bi-objective water distribution network design problem using a genetic programming based hyper-heuristic approach [PDF]
, 2015 The water distribution network (WDN) design problem is primarily concerned with finding the optimal pipe sizes that provide the best service for minimal cost; a problem of continuing importance both in the UK and internationally.

Evolution of group-theoretic cryptology attacks using hyper-heuristics
Journal of Mathematical Cryptology, 2021 In previous work, we developed a single evolutionary algorithm (EA) to solve random instances of the Anshel–Anshel–Goldfeld (AAG) key exchange protocol over polycyclic groups. The EA consisted of six simple heuristics which manipulated strings.

A software interface for supporting the application of data science to optimisation [PDF]
, 2015 Many real world problems can be solved effectively by metaheuristics in combination with neighbourhood search. However, implementing neighbourhood search for a particular problem domain can be time consuming and so it is important to get the most value ...

A Universal Meta‐Heuristic Framework for Influence Maximisation in Hypergraphs
CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Influence maximisation (IM) aims to select a small number of nodes that are able to maximise their influence in a network and covers a wide range of applications. Despite numerous attempts to provide effective solutions in simple networks, higher‐order interactions between entities in various real‐world systems are usually not taken into ...
