Generating single and multiple cooperative heuristics for the one dimensional bin packing problem using a single node genetic programming island model.
  Novel deterministic heuristics are generated using Single Node Genetic Programming for application to the One Dimensional Bin Packing Problem. First a single deterministic heuristic was evolved that minimised the total number of bins used when applied to a set of 685 training instances. Following this, a set of heuristics were evolved using a form of cooperative co-evolution that collectively minimise the number of bins used across the same set of problems. Results on an unseen test set comprising a further 685 problem instances show that the single evolved heuristic out- performs existing deterministic heuristics described in the literature. The collection of heuristics evolved by cooperative co-evolution outperforms any of the single heuristics, including the newly generated ones.
