An Iterative Optimization Algorithm for Planning Spacecraft Pathways Through Asteroids

Applied Sciences
In this article, we explore the use of meta-heuristic algorithms for costly black-box permutation optimization problems. These combinatorial problems are defined by solution spaces that consist of permutations of elements, with an objective function that

Special issue on hyper-heuristics in search and optimization

, 2010
First paragraph: A hyper-heuristic is an automated methodology for selecting or generating heuristics to solve hard computational search problems. The main feature distinguishing these methods is that they explore a search space of heuristics (rather ...
