Scheduling Earth Observing Satellites with Evolutionary Algorithms

We hypothesize that evolutionary algorithms can effectively schedule coordinated fleets of Earth observing satellites. The constraints are complex and the bottlenecks are not well understood, a condition where evolutionary algorithms are often effective. This is, in part, because evolutionary algorithms require only that one can represent solutions, modify solutions, and evaluate solution fitne...

Maintenance scheduling by variable dimension evolutionary algorithms

Lots of research has been done on optimization strategies finding optimal maintenance schedules. Much less attention is turned to how the schedule is represented to the algorithm. Either the search space is represented as a binary string leading to highly complex combinatorial problem or maintenance operations are restricted to regular intervals which may prevent optimal solutions. An adequate ...

Evolutionary Algorithms for Nurse Scheduling Problem

Nurse scheduling problem (NSPs) represents a diicult class of Multi-objective optimization problems consisting of a number of interfering objectives between the hospitals and individual nurses. The objective of this research is to investigate diiculties that occur during solution of NSP using Evolutionary Algorithms, in particular Genetic Algorithms (GA). As the solution method a population-les...
