This paper presents a review of the literature on personnel scheduling problems. Firstly, we
discuss the classification methods in former review papers. Secondly, we evaluate the …

Hyper-heuristics comprise a set of approaches that are motivated (at least in part) by the
goal of automating the design of heuristic methods to solve hard computational search …

This is the second edition of our 2003 book. It is primarily a book for lecturers and graduate
and undergraduate students. To this group the book offers a thorough introduction to …

Hyper-heuristics are search techniques for selecting, generating, and sequencing (meta)-
heuristics to solve challenging optimization problems. They differ from traditional (meta) …

With the globalization and sustainable development of the modern manufacturing industry,
distributed manufacturing and scheduling systems that consider environmental effects have …

Organizations need to focus on many parameters to reach their goals such as personnel
satisfaction at the top level, profit maximization, increasing system efficiency and minimizing …

Hyper-heuristic is a class of methodologies which automates the process of selecting or
generating a set of heuristics to solve various optimization problems. A traditional hyper …

This paper presents HyFlex, a software framework for the development of cross-domain
search methodologies. The framework features a common software interface for dealing with …

This article presents a review and a comparative analysis between frameworks for solving
optimization problems using metaheuristics. The aim is to identify both the desirable …

Designing generic problem solvers that perform well across a diverse set of problems is a
challenging task. In this work, we propose a hyper-heuristic framework to automatically …
