One of the major drawbacks in block-based discrete cosine transform (BDCT) is the blocking artifacts at low bit rates. In this paper, an adaptive deblocking algorithm based on Mar...
Geometrical place can be sometimes difficult to find by applying mathematical methods. Evolutionary algorithms deal with a population of solutions. This population (initially ran...
The stretch constraint occurs in many rostering problems that arise in the industrial and public service sectors. In this paper we present an efficient algorithm for domain consist...
We consider the problem of finding small Golomb rulers, a hard combinatorial optimization task. This problem is here tackled by means of a hybrid evolutionary algorithm (EA). This...
In this paper, we review parallel search techniques for approximating the global optimal solution of combinatorial optimization problems. Recent developments on parallel implementa...
