Hyper-heuristics have emerged as a way to raise the level of generality of search techniques for computational search problems. This is in contrast to many approaches, which represent …
In recent algorithmic family simulates different biological processes observed in Nature in order to efficiently address complex optimization problems. In the last years the number of …
Hyper-heuristics comprise a set of approaches that are motivated (at least in part) by the goal of automating the design of heuristic methods to solve hard computational search …
This paper presents HyFlex, a software framework for the development of cross-domain search methodologies. The framework features a common software interface for dealing with …

Limited attention has been paid to assessing the generality performance of hyper-heuristics. The performance of hyper-heuristics has been predominately assessed in terms of optimality …
In this work we present a simple state-of-the-art selection hyperheuristic called Fair-Share Iterated Local Search (FS-ILS). FS-ILS is an iterated local search method using a …
HyFlex is a recently proposed software framework for implementing hyper-heuristics and domain-independent heuristic optimisation algorithms [13]. Although it was originally …
