A timetabling problem is formulated as a large integer linear programming problem in 0-1 variables. A solution method based on Lagrangean relaxation coupled with subgradient optimization is presented.

We present a genetic algorithm for the multiple-choice integer program that finds an optimal solution with probability one (though it is typically used as a heuristic). General constraints are relaxed ...

The objective of the 3D-SCALO problem is to assign the given components to optimal mounting surfaces and position them at the best locations, while satisfying the requirements for (1) heat dissipation ...
