Structure and metaheuristics [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 8th annual conference on Genetic and evolutionary computation, 2006
Metaheuristics have often been shown to be effective for difficult combinatorial optimization problems. The reason for that, however, remains unclear. A framework for a theory of metaheuristics crucially depends on a formal representative model of such algorithms.

A Systematic Literature Review on Robust Swarm Intelligence Algorithms in Search-Based Software Engineering

open access: yesComplexity, 2023
Swarm intelligence algorithms are metaheuristics inspired by the collective behavior of species such as birds, fish, bees, and ants. They are used in many optimization problems due to their simplicity, flexibility, and scalability.

A hyper-matheuristic approach for solving mixed integer linear optimization models in the context of data envelopment analysis [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ Computer Science, 2022
Mixed Integer Linear Programs (MILPs) are usually NP-hard mathematical programming problems, which present difficulties to obtain optimal solutions in a reasonable time for large scale models.

Taxonomy of Memory Usage in Swarm Intelligence-Based Metaheuristics

open access: yesمجلة بغداد للعلوم, 2019
Metaheuristics under the swarm intelligence (SI) class have proven to be efficient and have become popular methods for solving different optimization problems. Based on the usage of memory, metaheuristics can be classified into algorithms with memory and

CUSTOMHyS: Customising Optimisation Metaheuristics via Hyper-heuristic Search

open access: yesSoftwareX, 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

On deciding when to stop metaheuristics: Properties, rules and termination conditions

open access: yesOperations Research Perspectives, 2023
Most metaheuristics lack a termination condition based on reasonable premises and guaranteeing the quality of the solution provided by the algorithm. We propose a methodological frame that distinguishes the concepts of properties of the final incumbent ...

Hybrid Metaheuristics to the Automatic Selection of Features and Members of Classifier Ensembles

open access: yesInformation, 2018
Metaheuristic algorithms have been applied to a wide range of global optimization problems. Basically, these techniques can be applied to problems in which a good solution must be found, providing imperfect or incomplete knowledge about the optimal ...

Embedded Learning Approaches in the Whale Optimizer to Solve Coverage Combinatorial Problems

open access: yesMathematics, 2022
When we face real problems using computational resources, we understand that it is common to find combinatorial problems in binary domains. Moreover, we have to take into account a large number of possible candidate solutions, since these can be numerous
