It is sometimes claimed that genetic algorithms using diploid representations will be more suitable for problems in which the environment changes from time to time, as the additional information stored in the double chromosome will ensure diversity,...

Producing robust schedules via an artificial immune system. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hart, E., Ross, P., & Nelson, J. (1998, May). Producing robust schedules via an artificial immune system

This paper describes an artificial immune system (AIS) approach
to producing robust schedules for a dynamic jobshop
scheduling problem in which jobs arrive continually,
and the environment is subject to change due to practical
reasons. We investi... Read More about Producing robust schedules via an artificial immune system..

Solving a real-world problem using an evolving heuristically driven schedule builder. (1998)

This work addresses the real-life scheduling problem of a Scottish company that must produce daily schedules for the catching and transportation of large numbers of live chickens. The problem is complex and highly constrained. We show that it can be... Read More about Solving a real-world problem using an evolving heuristically driven schedule builder..

Two solutions to the general timetable problem using evolutionary algorithms. (1994)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Paechter, B., Luchian, H., Cumming, A., & Petriuc, M. (1994, June). Two solutions to the general timetable problem using evolutionary algorithms. Presented at First IEEE Conference on Evolutionary Computation, 1994 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence

The general timetable problem, which involves the placing
of events requiring limited resources into timeslots,
has been approached in many different ways. This paper
describes two approaches to solving the problem using
evolutionary algorithms.... Read More about Two solutions to the general timetable problem using evolutionary algorithms..

A co-operative computer based on the principles of human co-operation (1993)
Journal Article
Clarke, A. A., & Smyth, M. (1993). A co-operative computer based on the principles of human co-operation. International journal of man-machine studies, 38(1), 3-22. https://doi.org/10.1006/imms.1993.1002

Co-operation is presented as a technique for radically improving human-computer interaction with complex knowledge bases during problem-identifying and problem-solving tasks. A study of human-human co-operation literature indicated the importance of... Read More about A co-operative computer based on the principles of human co-operation.
