MALLBA: A Library of Skeletons for Combinatorial Optimisation (Research Note)
Enrique Alba,Francisco Almeida,Maria J. Blesa,J. Cabeza,Carlos Cotta,Manuel Díaz,I. Dorta,Joachim Gabarró,Carlos A. Leon,J.M. Luna,Luz Marina Moreno,C. Pablos,Jordi Petit,Angel Bienvenido G. Rojas,Fatos Xhafa +14 more
TL;DR: The MallBA project as mentioned in this paper tackles the resolution of combinatorial optimization problems using algorithmic skeletons implemented in C++ and offers three families of generic resolution methods: exact, heuristic and hybrid.

New metaheuristic approaches for the edge-weighted k -cardinality tree problem
Christian Blum,Maria J. Blesa +1 more
TL;DR: Three metaheuristic approaches are proposed, namely a Tabu Search, an Evolutionary Computation and an Ant Colony Optimization approach, for the edge-weighted k-cardinality tree (KCT) problem, an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem that generalizes the well-known minimum weight spanning tree problem.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enrique Alba,Francisco Almeida,Maria J. Blesa,Carlos Cotta,Manuel Díaz,I. Dorta,Joaquim Gabarró,Coromoto León,Gabriel Luque,Jordi Petit,Casiano Rodríguez,A. Rojas,Fatos Xhafa +12 more
TL;DR: The architecture of the MALLBA library is introduced, some of the implemented skeletons are details, and computational results for some classical optimization problems are offered to show the viability of the library.
Journal ArticleDOI
An ant colony optimization algorithm for DNA sequencing by hybridization
TL;DR: An ant colony optimization algorithm for DNA sequencing by hybridization is developed on the basis of new heuristics proposed in a so-called multi-level framework.
