Memetic algorithms for timetabling

open access: yesThe 2003 Congress on Evolutionary Computation, 2003. CEC '03., 2004
Course timetabling problems are real world constraint optimization problems that are often coped with educational institutions, such as universities or high schools. In this paper, we present a variety of new operators that can be also applied in evolutionary algorithms for other timetabling problems, such as, exam timetabling.

Drayage Routing Problems: A Comprehensive Survey and a New Compact Model

open access: yesAustralian &New Zealand Journal of Statistics, Volume 67, Issue 4, Page 491-526, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Drayage involves short‐distance container trucking, a crucial part of intermodal transportation that fills the gap between long‐haul transportation modes and inland facilities. Because of its high costs, drayage has been increasingly drawing the attention of researchers and practitioners from different disciplines, who have been exploring ...

Optimality Clue for Graph Coloring Problem

open access: yes, 2018
In this paper, we present a new approach which qualifies or not a solution found by a heuristic as a potential optimal solution. Our approach is based on the following observation: for a minimization problem, the number of admissible solutions decreases ...

Building algorithm portfolios for memetic algorithms

open access: yesProceedings of the Companion Publication of the 2014 Annual Conference on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation, 2014
The present study introduces an automated mechanism to build algorithm portfolios for memetic algorithms. The objective is to determine an algorithm set involving combinations of crossover, mutation and local search operators based on their past performance. The past performance is used to cluster algorithm combinations. Top performing combinations are
