A 0/1 integer programming model for the office space allocation problem (2010)
Journal Article
Ulker, O., & Landa-Silva, D. (2010). A 0/1 integer programming model for the office space allocation problem. Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics, 36, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.endm.2010.05.073

We propose a 0/1 integer programming model to tackle the office space allocation (OSA) problem which refers to assigning room space to a set of entities (people, machines, roles, etc.), with the goal of optimising the space utilisation while satisfyi...

Towards improving the utilization of university teaching space (2007)
Journal Article
Beyrouthy, C., Burke, E. K., Landa-Silva, D., McCollum, B., McMullan, P., & Parkes, A. J. (2009). Towards improving the utilization of university teaching space. Journal of the Operational Research Society, 60(1), 130-143. https://doi.org/10.1057/palgrave.jors.2602523

There is a perception that teaching space in universities is a rather scarce resource. However, some studies have revealed that in many institutions it is actually chronically under-used. Often, rooms are occupied only half the time, and even when in... Read More about Towards improving the utilization of university teaching space.

Asynchronous cooperative local search for the office-space-allocation problem (2007)
Journal Article
Landa-Silva, D., & Burke, D. K. (2007). Asynchronous cooperative local search for the office-space-allocation problem. INFORMS Journal on Computing, 19(4), 575-587. https://doi.org/10.1287/ijoc.1060.0200

We investigate cooperative local search to improve upon known results of the office-space-allocation problem in universities and other organizations. A number of entities (e.g., research students, staff, etc.) must be allocated into a set of rooms so... Read More about Asynchronous cooperative local search for the office-space-allocation problem.

The influence of the fitness evaluation method on the performance of multiobjective search algorithms (2006)
Journal Article
Burke, E. K., & Landa Silva, J. D. (2006). The influence of the fitness evaluation method on the performance of multiobjective search algorithms. European Journal of Operational Research, 169(3), 875-897. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejor.2004.08.028

In this paper we are concerned with finding the Pareto optimal front or a good approximation to it. Since non-dominated solutions represent the goal in multiobjective optimisation, the dominance relation is frequently used to establish preference bet...
