Evolutionary Computation (EC) have been applied to a great number of optimisation problems with some success, specially in fields such as production operations in manufacturing industry, parallel and distributed systems,...

Evolutionary computation techniques, genetic algorithms, evolutionary strategies and genetic programming are motivated by the evolution of nature. A population of individuals, which encode the problem solutions are manip...

Determining an optimal schedule to minimize the completion time of the last job abandoning the system (makespan) becomes a very difficult problem when there are more than two machines in the flow shop. Due both to its ec...

The optimization of nonlinear functions using particle swarm methodology is described. Implementations of two paradigms are discussed and compared, including a recently developed locally oriented paradigm. Benchmark test...

Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) that use non-dominated sorting and sharing have been criticized mainly for: (1) their O(MN/sup 3/) computational complexity (where M is the number of objectives and N is th...

The Open Shop Scheduling Problem (OSSP) is one of the most interesting, complexes and not frequently approached scheduling problems. Due to its intractability with other techniques, in this work we present an evolutionar...

The Flow Shop Scheduling Problem have been tackled using different techniques which goes from mathematical techniques like Branch and Bound to metaheuristics like evolutionary algorithms (EAs). Although in the real worl...

The particle swarm is an algorithm for finding optimal regions of complex search spaces through the interaction of individuals in a population of particles. This paper analyzes a particle's trajectory as it moves in disc...
