Move acceptance in local search metaheuristics for cross-domain search (2018)
Journal Article
Jackson, W. G., Özcan, E., & John, R. I. (2018). Move acceptance in local search metaheuristics for cross-domain search. Expert Systems with Applications, 131, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eswa.2018.05.006

Metaheuristics provide high-level instructions for designing heuristic optimisation algorithms and have been successfully applied to a range of computationally hard real-world problems. Local search metaheuristics operate under a single-point based s... Read More about Move acceptance in local search metaheuristics for cross-domain search.

Tuning a Simulated Annealing metaheuristic for cross-domain search (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jackson, W. G., Özcan, E., & John, R. Tuning a Simulated Annealing metaheuristic for cross-domain search. Presented at IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation 2017

Simulated Annealing is a well known local search metaheuristic used for solving computationally hard optimization problems. Cross-domain search poses a higher level issue where a single solution method is used with minor, preferably no modification f...

Performance of selection hyper-heuristics on the extended HyFlex domains (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Almutairi, A., Özcan, E., Kheiri, A., & Jackson, W. G. (2016, October). Performance of selection hyper-heuristics on the extended HyFlex domains. Presented at ISCIS: International Symposium on Computer and Information Sciences, Krakow, Poland

Selection hyper-heuristics perform search over the space of heuristics by mixing and controlling a predefined set of low level heuristics for solving computationally hard combinatorial optimisation problems. Being reusable methods, they are expected... Read More about Performance of selection hyper-heuristics on the extended HyFlex domains.

A comparative study of fuzzy parameter control in a general purpose local search metaheuristic (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jackson, W. G., Özcan, E., & John, R. I. (2016, July). A comparative study of fuzzy parameter control in a general purpose local search metaheuristic. Presented at 2016 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC)

There is a growing number of studies on general purpose metaheuristics that are directly applicable to multiple domains. Parameter setting is a particular issue considering that many of such search methods come with a set of...
