An immune system approach to scheduling in changing environments. In W. Banzhaf, J. M. Daida, A. E. Eiben, M. H. Garzon, V. Honavar, M. Jakiela, & R. E. Smith (Eds.), GECCO-99 : proceedings of the genetic and evolutionary computation conference. Volume 2, 1559-1566
This paper describes the application of an artificial immune system, (AIS), model to a scheduling application, in which sudden changes in the scheduling environment require th...

It is sometimes claimed that genetic algorithms using diploid representations will be more suitable for problems in which the environment changes from time to time, as the add...

Some observations about GA-based exam timetabling.

Conference Proceeding
Ross, P., Hart, E., & Corne, D. (1998)
Some observations about GA-based exam timetabling. In E. Burke, & M. Carter (Eds.), Practice and Theory of Automated Timetabling II. , (115-129
Although many people have tried using genetic algorithms (GAs) for exam timetabling, far fewer have done systematic investigations to try to determine whether a GA is a good c...
