Maintaining Connectivity in a Scalable and Robust Distributed Environment (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jelasity, M., Preuss, M., van Steen, M., & Paechter, B. (2005). Maintaining Connectivity in a Scalable and Robust Distributed Environment. In H. E. Bal, K. P. Lohr, & A. Reinfeld (Eds.), 2nd IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Gr

This paper describes a novel peer-to-peer (P2P) environment for running distributed Java applications on the Internet. The possible application areas include simple load balancing, parallel evolutionary computation, agent-based simulation and artific...

Multi-Objective Optimisation of the Pump Scheduling Problem using SPEA2. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lopez-Ibanez, M., Devi Prasad, T., & Paechter, B. (2005). Multi-Objective Optimisation of the Pump Scheduling Problem using SPEA2. . https://doi.org/10.1109/CEC.2005.1554716

Significant operational cost and energy savings can be achieved by optimising the schedules of pumps, which pump water from source reservoirs to storage tanks, in water distribution networks. Despite the fact that pump scheduling problem involves sev... Read More about Multi-Objective Optimisation of the Pump Scheduling Problem using SPEA2..

New crossover operators for timetabling with evolutionary algorithms. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lewis, R. M. R., & Paechter, B. (2004). New crossover operators for timetabling with evolutionary algorithms. In A. Lotfi (Ed.), 5th International Conference on Recent Advances in Soft Computing (189-195)

When using an evolutionary algorithm (EA) to optimise a population of feasible course timetables, it is important that the mutation and crossover operators are designed in such a way so that they don?t produce unfeasible or illegal offspring. In this... Read More about New crossover operators for timetabling with evolutionary algorithms..

PSFGA: Parallel processing and evolutionary computation for multiobjective optimisation (2004)
Journal Article
de Toro Negro, F., Ortega, J., Ros, E., Mota, S., Paechter, B., & Martin, J. M. (2004). PSFGA: Parallel processing and evolutionary computation for multiobjective optimisation. Parallel Computing, 30(5-6), 721-739. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.parco.2003.12.

This paper deals with the study of the cooperation between parallel processing and evolutionary computation to obtain efficient procedures for solving multiobjective optimisation problems. We propose a new algorithm called PSFGA (parallel single fron... Read More about PSFGA: Parallel processing and evolutionary computation for multiobjective optimisation.

Improving vehicle routing using a customer waiting time colony. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sa'adah, S., Ross, P., & Paechter, B. (2004). Improving vehicle routing using a customer waiting time colony. In J. Gottlieb, & G. Raidl (Eds.), Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization (188-198). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-24652-7_19

In the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW), there are two main objectives. The primary objective is to reduce the number of vehicles, the secondary one is to minimise the total distance travelled by all vehicles. This paper describes so...

Routing using evolutionary agents and proactive transitions. (2003)
Book Chapter
Urquhart, N. B., Ross, P., Paechter, B., & Chisholm, K. (2003). Routing using evolutionary agents and proactive transitions. In Applications of Evolutionary Computing (696-705). Springer-Verlag

The authors have previously introduced the concept of building a delivery network using an agent-based system. The delivery networks are built in response to a real-world problem that involves delivering post to a large number of households within an...

A comparison of the performance of different metaheuristics on the timetabling problem. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Rossi-Doria, O., Sampels, M., Birattari, M., Chiarandini, M., Dorigo, M., Gambardella, L. M., …Stutzle, T. (2003). A comparison of the performance of different metaheuristics on the timetabling problem. In E. Burke, & P. Causmaecker (Eds.), Practice and

The main goal of this paper is to attempt an unbiased comparison of the performance of straightforward implementations of five different metaheuristics on a university course timetabling problem. In particular, the metaheuristics under consideration... Read More about A comparison of the performance of different metaheuristics on the timetabling problem..
