A Novel Heuristic Generator for JSSP Using a Tree-Based Representation of Dispatching Rules (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Sim, K., & Hart, E. (2015). A Novel Heuristic Generator for JSSP Using a Tree-Based Representation of Dispatching Rules. In GECCO Companion '15 Proceedings of the Companion Publication of the 2015 Annual Conference on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation (1485-1486). https://doi.org/10.1145/2739482.2764697

A previously described hyper-heuristic framework named NELLI is adapted for the classic Job Shop Scheduling Problem (JSSP) and used to find ensembles of reusable heuristics that cooperate to cover the heuristic search space. A new heuristic generato... Read More about A Novel Heuristic Generator for JSSP Using a Tree-Based Representation of Dispatching Rules.

A research agenda for metaheuristic standardization. (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Hart, E., & Sim, K. (2015, June). A research agenda for metaheuristic standardization. Paper presented at 11th Metaheuristics International Conference

We propose that the development of standardized, explicit, machine-readable descriptions of metaheuris- tics will greatly advance scientific progress in the field. In particular, we advocate a purely functional description of metaheuristics — separat... Read More about A research agenda for metaheuristic standardization..

A Lifelong Learning Hyper-heuristic Method for Bin Packing (2015)
Journal Article
Hart, E., Sim, K., & Paechter, B. (2015). A Lifelong Learning Hyper-heuristic Method for Bin Packing. Evolutionary Computation, 23(1), 37-67. https://doi.org/10.1162/EVCO_a_00121

We describe a novel Hyper-heuristic system which continuously learns over time to solve a combinatorial optimisation problem. The system continuously generates new heuristics and samples problems from its environment; representative problems and heur...
