A GA evolving instructions for a timetable builder. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Blum, C., Correia, S., Dorigo, M., Paechter, B., Rossi-Doria, O., & Snoek, M. (2002, August). A GA evolving instructions for a timetable builder. Presented at PATAT 2002

In this work we present a Genetic Algorithm for tackling timetabling problems. Our approach uses an indirect solution representation, which denotes a number of instructions for a timetable builder on how to sequentially build a solution. These instru...

Exploiting the analogy between immunology and sparse distributed memory. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., & Ross, P. (2002, September). Exploiting the analogy between immunology and sparse distributed memory. Presented at ICARIS 2002

The relationship between immunological memory and a class of associative memories known as sparse distributed memories (SDM) is well known. This paper proposes a new model for clustering non-stationary data based on a combination of salient features...

A local search for the timetabling problem. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Rossi-Doria, O., Blum, C., Knowles, J., Sampels, M., Socha, K., & Paechter, B. (2002, August). A local search for the timetabling problem. Presented at PATAT 2002

This work is part of the Metaheuristic Network, a European Commission project that seeks to empirically compare the performance of various metaheuristics on different combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper we define a representation, a ne... Read More about A local search for the timetabling problem..
