Optimization of the access point layout is one of the issues in the field of networking. This
issue is relating to the layout of access point on the Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) network that …

This paper deals with a particular variant of the flowshop scheduling problem motivated by a
real case configuration issued from an electro-electronic material industry. The shop floor …

In modern engineering finding an optimal design is formulated as an optimization problem
which involves evaluating a computationally expensive black-box function. To alleviate …

Parallel-machine scheduling problems are well-known NP-hard combinatorial optimization
problems with many real-world applications. Given the increasing appearance of these …

The development of Wi-Fi network is not only about the installment of access point
infrastructure, but also related to various factors such as signal strength of the access point …

Many problems of practical and theoretical importance within the fields of Artificial
Intelligence and Operations Research are combinatorial. Combinatorial optimization …

In this paper we present a comparative study of four trajectory or single-solution based
metaheuristics (S-metaheuristics): Iterated Local Search (ILS), Greedy Randomized …

In this paper we present a comparative study of four trajectory metaheuristics or single-
solution based metaheuristics (S-meta heuristics): Iterated Local Search (ILS), Greedy …

The scheduling methods, introduced by the academicians and practitioners, have been
developed day by day. The new branches/subdivisions of the main methods are being …

In this paper we propose a modification to the Simulated Annealing (SA) basic algorithm that
includes an additional local search cycle after finishing every Metropolis cycle. The added …
