Hyper-heuristics: a survey of the state of the art [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Operational Research Society, 2013
Hyper-heuristics comprise a set of approaches that are motivated (at least in part) by the goal of automating the design of heuristic methods to solve hard computational search problems. An underlying strategic research challenge is to develop more generally applicable search methodologies.

A Novel Cooperative Multi-Stage Hyper-Heuristic for Combination Optimization Problems

open access: yesComplex System Modeling and Simulation, 2021
A hyper-heuristic algorithm is a general solution framework that adaptively selects the optimizer to address complex problems. A classical hyper-heuristic framework consists of two levels, including the high-level heuristic and a set of low-level ...

Optimizing agents with genetic programming : an evaluation of hyper-heuristics in dynamic real-time logistics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Dynamic pickup and delivery problems (PDPs) require online algorithms for managing a fleet of vehicles. Generally, vehicles can be managed either centrally or decentrally. A common way to coordinate agents decentrally is to use the contract-net protocol (

HyperDE: An Adaptive Hyper-Heuristic for Global Optimization

open access: yesAlgorithms, 2023
In this paper, a novel global optimization approach in the form of an adaptive hyper-heuristic, namely HyperDE, is proposed. As the naming suggests, the method is based on the Differential Evolution (DE) heuristic, which is a well-established ...

Batched Mode Hyper-heuristics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A primary role for hyper-heuristics is to control search processes based on moves generated by neighbourhood operators. Studies have shown that such hyper-heuristics can be effectively used, without modification, for solving unseen problem instances not only from a particular domain, but also on different problem domains.

A Methodology for Classifying Search Operators as Intensification or Diversification Heuristics

open access: yesComplexity, 2020
Selection hyper-heuristics are generic search tools that dynamically choose, from a given pool, the most promising operator (low-level heuristic) to apply at each iteration of the search process. The performance of these methods depends on the quality of

Global Optimisation through Hyper-Heuristics: Unfolding Population-Based Metaheuristics

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
Optimisation has been with us since before the first humans opened their eyes to natural phenomena that inspire technological progress. Nowadays, it is quite hard to find a solver from the overpopulation of metaheuristics that properly deals with a given

Solving high school timetabling problems worldwide using selection hyper-heuristics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
High school timetabling is one of those recurring NP-hard real-world combinatorial optimisation problems that has to be dealt with by many educational institutions periodically, and so has been of interest to practitioners and researchers. Solving a high
