“Exploration and exploitation are the two cornerstones of problem solving by search.” For
more than a decade, Eiben and Schippers' advocacy for balancing between these two …

In the last three decades, the field of computational intelligence has seen a profusion of
population‐based metaheuristics applied to a variety of problems, where they achieved …

In this article a new architecture for hardware implementation of genetic algorithm in
reconfigurable embedded systems is presented. The main idea is based on the efficient use …

In pervasive systems, context is a direct cause to adapt the content of multimedia documents
so that they comply, as far as possible, with the current constraints. In this respect, several …

This paper studies the flexible flow shop scheduling problem with component altering times
(FFSP-CAT), which is a specific form of the flexible flow shop scheduling problem with …

Pervasive systems help access to multimedia documents at any time, from anywhere and
through several devices (smart TV, laptop, tablet, etc.). Nevertheless, due to changes in …

The main objective of this paper is an implementation written in Vhsic Hardware Description
Language (VHDL) and intended for a hardware implementation for real time applications …

A novel genetic algorithm, named double population genetic algorithm (DPGA), is proposed
to improve the performance of the conventional genetic algorithm. An elaborate searching …

Subjects in tunnels, being constrained by terrain and routes, entrances and exits to tunnels,
usually stay in the terrain with slopes. Thus, it is necessary to carry out stability analysis by …

Les méthodes heuristiques font référence à des techniques pour la résolution de problèmes,
l'apprentissage et la découverte où une recherche exhaustive n'est pas pratique. Elles sont …
