Conference Proceeding
Urquhart, N. B., Ross, P., Paechter, B., & Chisholm, K. (2002). Solving a real world routing problem using multiple evolutionary algorithms. In Parallel Problem Solving from Nature — PPSN VII (871-880). https://doi.org/10.1007/3-540-45712-7_84

This paper investigates the solving of a real world routing problem using evolutionary algorithms embedded within a Multi-agent system (MAS). An architecture for the MAS is proposed and mechanisms for controlling the interactions of agents are invest...

Conference Proceeding
Urquhart, N. B., Ross, P., Paechter, B., & Chisholm, K. (2002). Improving street based routing using building block mutations. In J. Gottlieb, E. Hart, & S. Cagnoni (Eds.), Applications of Evolutionary Computing: EvoWorkshops 2002: EvoCOP, EvoIASP, EvoSTIM/EvoPLAN Kinsale, Ireland, April 3–4, 2002 Proceedings (189-202). https://doi.org/10.1007/3-540-46004-7_33

Street based routing (SBR) is a real-world inspired routing problem that builds routes within an urban area for mail deliveries. The authors have previously attempted to solve this problem using an Evolutionary Algorithm (EA). In this paper the autho...

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.
