Optimising an evolutionary algorithm for scheduling (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Urquhart, N. B., Chisholm, K., & Paechter, B. (2000, April). Optimising an evolutionary algorithm for scheduling. Presented at EvoWorkshops 2000: EvoIASP, EvoSCONDI, EvoTel, EvoSTIM, EvoRob, and EvoFlight,, Edinburgh

This paper examines two techniques for setting the parameters of an evolutionary Algorithm (EA). The example EA used for test purposes undertakes a simple scheduling problem. An initial version of the EA was tested utilising a set of parameters that... Read More about Optimising an evolutionary algorithm for scheduling.
