Robustness Approaches for the Examination Timetabling Problem under Data Uncertainty
Bernd Bassimir, Rolf Wanka
In the literature the examination timetabling problem (ETTP) is often considered a post-enrollment problem (PE-ETTP). In the real world, universities often schedule their exams bef…

The Convergence Indicator: Improved and completely characterized parameter bounds for actual convergence of Particle Swarm Optimization
Bernd Bassimir, Alexander Raß, Rolf Wanka
Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a meta-heuristic for continuous black-box optimization problems. In this paper we focus on the convergence of the particle swarm, i.e., the exp…

Self-adaptive Potential-based Stopping Criteria for Particle Swarm Optimization
Bernd Bassimir, Manuel Schmitt, Rolf Wanka
We study the variant of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) that applies random velocities in a dimension instead of the regular velocity update equations as soon as the so-called po…
