Hyper-heuristics for cross-domain search
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present two hyper-heuristics developed for the Cross-Domain Heuristic Search Challenge. Hyper-heuristics solve hard combinatorial problems by guiding low level heuristics, rather than by manipulating problem solutions directly. Two hyper-heuristics are presented: Five Phase Approach and Genetic Hive. Development paths of the algorithms and testing methods are outlined. Performance of both methods is studied. Useful and interesting experience gained in construction of the hyper-heuristics are presented. Conclusions and recommendations for the future advancement of hyper-heuristic methodologies are discussed.

Crossover control in selection hyper-heuristics : case studies using MKP and HyFlex
Hyper-heuristics are a class of high-level search methodologies which operate over a search space of heuristics rather than a search space of solutions. Hyper-heuristic research has set out to develop methods which are more general than traditional search and optimisation techniques. In recent years, focus has shifted considerably towards cross-domain heuristic search. The intention is to devel...
متن کاملVehicle Routing and Adaptive Iterated Local Search within the HyFlex Hyper-heuristic Framework
HyFlex (Hyper-heuristic Flexible framework) [15] is a software framework enabling the development of domain independent search heuristics (hyper-heuristics), and testing across multiple problem domains. This framework was used as a base for the first Cross-domain Heuristic Search Challenge, a research competition that attracted significant international attention. In this paper, we present one ...
متن کاملPerformance of Selection Hyper-heuristics on the Extended HyFlex Domains
Selection hyper-heuristics perform search over the space of heuristics by mixing and controlling a predefined set of low level heuristics for solving computationally hard combinatorial optimisation problems. Being reusable methods, they are expected to be applicable to multiple problem domains, hence performing well in cross-domain search. HyFlex is a general purpose heuristic search API which ...

The first Cross-domain Heuristic Search Challenge (CHeSC 2011) is an international research competition aimed at measuring hyperheuristics performance over several problem domains. Hyper-heuristics are new approaches which aim at raising the level of abstraction when solving combinatorial optimisation problems. During this competition, we have applied the Ant-Q hyper-heuristic approach, propose...
