Heuristic usability evaluation on games: a modular approach [PDF]

, 2019
Heuristic evaluation is the preferred method to assess usability in games when experts conduct this evaluation. Many heuristics guidelines have been proposed attending to specificities of games but they only focus on specific subsets of games or ...

Jamming Model for the Extremal Optimization Heuristic [PDF]

, 2001
Extremal Optimization, a recently introduced meta-heuristic for hard optimization problems, is analyzed on a simple model of jamming. The model is motivated first by the problem of finding lowest energy configurations for a disordered spin system on a ...

Meta heuristics for the orienteering problem

Proceedings of the 2002 Congress on Evolutionary Computation. CEC'02 (Cat. No.02TH8600), 2003
This paper presents two meta-heuristic techniques, ant colony optimization and tabu search, for the orienteering problem, a general version of the well-known traveling salesman problem with many relevant applications in industry. Both algorithms are compared to other heuristics in the literature.

IMPROVING α-PARAMETERIZED DIFFERENTIAL TRANSFORM METHOD WITH DANDELION OPTIMIZER FOR SOLVING ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

Informatyka, Automatyka, Pomiary w Gospodarce i Ochronie Środowiska
In this manuscript, we aim to address Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) by α-Parameterized Differential Transform Method (α-PDTM). Additionally, we seek to enhance the effectiveness of α-PDTM by incorporating the Dandelion Optimizer (DO).
