Great deluge with non-linear decay rate for solving course timetabling problems (2008)
Conference Proceeding
Landa-Silva, D., & Obit, J. H. (2008). Great deluge with non-linear decay rate for solving course timetabling problems. https://doi.org/10.1109/IS.2008.4670447

Course timetabling is the process of allocating, subject to constraints, limited rooms and timeslots for a set of courses to take place. Usually, in addition to constructing a feasible timetable (all constraints satisfied), there are desirable goals...

Evolutionary multi-objective simulated annealing with adaptive and competitive search direction (2008)
Conference Proceeding
Li, H., & Landa-Silva, D. (2008). Evolutionary multi-objective simulated annealing with adaptive and competitive search direction. https://doi.org/10.1109/CEC.2008.4631246

In this paper, we propose a population-based implementation of simulated annealing to tackle multi-objective optimisation problems, in particular those of combinatorial nature. The proposed algorithm is called Evolutionary Multiobjective Simulated An... Read More about Evolutionary multi-objective simulated annealing with adaptive and competitive search direction.

A simple evolutionary algorithm with self-adaptation for multi-objective nurse scheduling (2008)
Book Chapter
Landa-Silva, D., & Le, K. N. (2008). A simple evolutionary algorithm with self-adaptation for multi-objective nurse scheduling. In Adaptive and Multilevel Metaheuristics, (133-155). Springer Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-79438-7_7

We present a multi-objective approach to tackle a real-world nurse scheduling problem using an evolutionary algorithm. The aim is to generate a few good quality non-dominated schedules so that the decision-maker can select the most appropriate one. O...

Adaptive and assortative mating scheme for evolutionary multi-objective algorithms (2008)
Book Chapter
Le, K., & Landa-Silva, D. (2008). Adaptive and assortative mating scheme for evolutionary multi-objective algorithms. In Artificial Evolution: 8th International Conference, Evolution Artificielle, EA 2007, Tours, France, October 29-31, 2007, Revised Selected Papers, (172-183). Springer Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-79305-2_15

We are interested in the role of restricted mating schemes in the context of evolutionary multi-objective algorithms. In this paper, we propose an adaptive assortative mating scheme that uses similarity in the decision space (genotypic assortative ma...
