An elitist GRASP metaheuristic for the multi-objective quadratic assignment problem (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Li, H., & Landa-Silva, D. (2009, March). An elitist GRASP metaheuristic for the multi-objective quadratic assignment problem. Presented at EMO: International Conference on Evolutionary Multi-Criterion Optimization, Nantes, France

We propose an elitist Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP) metaheuristic algorithm, called mGRASP/MH, for approximating the Pareto-optimal front in the multi-objective quadratic assignment problem (mQAP). The proposed algorithm is char... Read More about An elitist GRASP metaheuristic for the multi-objective quadratic assignment problem.

Towards an integrated workforce management system (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Landa-Silva, D., Castillo, A., Bowie, L., & Johnston, H. (2010, August). Towards an integrated workforce management system. Presented at PATAT 2010 - Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on the Practice and Theory of Automated Timetabling

We describe progress towards a workforce management system in which personnel scheduling is integrated with other important processes such as payroll processing, attendance and absence recording, staffing forecast and planning, etc. Our focus is on c...

Improved dynamic lexicographic ordering for multi-objective optimisation (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Castro-Gutierrez, J., Landa-Silva, D., & Moreno-Perez, J. A. Improved dynamic lexicographic ordering for multi-objective optimisation. Presented at Parallel Problem Solving from Nature - PPSN XI, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Vol. 6239

There is a variety of methods for ranking objectives in multiobjective optimization and some are difficult to define because they require information a priori (e.g. establishing weights in a weighted approach or setting the ordering in a lexicographi...

CODEA : an agent based multi-objective optimization framework (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Castro-Gutierrez, J., Landa-Silva, D., & Moreno-Perez, J. CODEA : an agent based multi-objective optimization framework. Presented at VII Congreso Espaol sobre Metaheursticas, Algoritmos Evolutivos y Bioinspirados (MAEB 2010)

This work presents CODEA, a COoperative DEcentralized Architecture for Multiobjective Optimization. CODEA is an objectoriented framework that aims at the creation of groups of agents to tackle complex problems by cooperative search. This cooperation...

Computational study of non-linear great deluge for university course timetabling (2010)
Book Chapter
Obit, J. H., & Landa-Silva, D. (2010). Computational study of non-linear great deluge for university course timetabling. In V. Sgurev, M. Hadjiski, & J. Kacprzyk (Eds.), Intelligent systems: from theory to practice. Springer

The great deluge algorithm explores neighbouring solutions which are accepted if they are better than the best solution so far or if the detriment in quality is no larger than the current water level. In the original great deluge method, the water le... Read More about Computational study of non-linear great deluge for university course timetabling.

Iterated heuristic algorithms for the classroom assignment problem (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Constantino, A. A., Filho, W. M., & Landa-Silva, D. Iterated heuristic algorithms for the classroom assignment problem. Presented at 2010 International Conference on the Practice and Theory of Automated Timetabling (PATAT 2010)

We tackle the classroom assignment problem in a large University with the objective of minimising the total distance between all classrooms assigned to teaching activities in the same course. Additional requirements that should be satisfied include:... Read More about Iterated heuristic algorithms for the classroom assignment problem.

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...

Evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithms with probabilistic representation based on pheromone trails (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Li, H., Landa-Silva, D., & Gandibleux, X. Evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithms with probabilistic representation based on pheromone trails. Presented at Proceedings of the 2010 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC 2010)

Recently, the research on quantum-inspired evolutionary algorithms (QEA) has attracted some attention in the area of evolutionary computation. QEA use a probabilistic representation, called Q-bit, to encode individuals in population. Unlike standard...

Towards the design of heuristics by means of self-assembly (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Terrazas, G., Landa-Silva, D., & Krasnogor, N. Towards the design of heuristics by means of self-assembly. Presented at Developments in Computational Models (DCM 2010)

The current investigations on hyper-heuristics design have sprung up in two different flavours: heuristics that choose heuristics and heuristics that generate heuristics. In the latter, the goal is to develop a problem-domain independent strategy to... Read More about Towards the design of heuristics by means of self-assembly.
