Resource-constrained scheduling for continuous repetitive projects with time-based production units

TL;DR: In this paper, a scheduling model is presented to find the optimal set of production rates in different time periods for each crew, considering limited availability of resources, which addresses work continuity while maintaining lead-time and lead-distance between operations.

A Biometric Key Generation Method Based on Semisupervised Data Clustering

TL;DR: A semisupervised clustering scheme is developed, which is optimized through a niching memetic algorithm, to effectively and simultaneously model both intra- and interuser variations to deliver consistent and discriminative keys of high entropy, outperforming-related methods.

A hybrid shuffled complex evolution approach based on differential evolution for unconstrained optimization

TL;DR: A metaheuristic algorithm called Modified Shuffled Complex Evolution (MSCE) is proposed, where an adaptation of the Downhill Simplex search strategy combined with the differential evolution method is proposed.

Adaptive Sine Cosine Algorithm Integrated with Differential Evolution for Structural Damage Detection

TL;DR: This work extends the sine cosine algorithm to be self-adaptive and its main reproduction operators are integrated with the mutation operator of differential evolution to tackle the test problems for structural damage detection.
