Addressing Examination Timetabling Problem Using a Partial Exams Approach in Constructive and Improvement (2020)
Journal Article
Mandal, A. K., Kahar, M. N. M., & Kendall, G. (2020). Addressing Examination Timetabling Problem Using a Partial Exams Approach in Constructive and Improvement. Computation, 8(2), https://doi.org/10.3390/computation8020046

The paper investigates a partial exam assignment approach for solving the examination timetabling problem. Current approaches involve scheduling all of the exams into time slots and rooms (i.e., produce an initial solution) and then continuing by imp...

The General Combinatorial Optimization Problem: Towards Automated Algorithm Design (2020)
Journal Article
Qu, R., Kendall, G., & Pillay, N. (2020). The General Combinatorial Optimization Problem: Towards Automated Algorithm Design. IEEE Computational Intelligence Magazine, 15(2), 14-23. https://doi.org/10.1109/mci.2020.2976182

This paper defines a new combinatorial optimisation problem, namely General Combinatorial Optimisation Problem (GCOP), whose decision variables are a set of parametric algorithmic components, i.e. algorithm design decisions. The solutions of GCOP, i.... Read More about The General Combinatorial Optimization Problem: Towards Automated Algorithm Design.
