The study surveys the conceptions of philosophical heuristics J. Baggini and P. S. Fosl, D. Dennett, A. Hájek, R. Nozick. All surveyed in are instrumental. Nozick’s Hájek’s ought to be considered “authentic” because Nozick Hájek called them “the heuristics.” Those aim solve (philosophical) problems rooted Decision theory. Dennett’s “philosophical heuristics” according H?jek’s classification is ...

In this paper, we describe the development of a Greedy Random Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP) where two low-level graph heuristics, Saturation Degree (SD) and Largest Weighted Degree (LWD) are dynamically hybridised in the construction phase to construct solutions for exam timetabling problems. The problem is initially solved using an intelligent adaptive LWD and SD graph hyper-heuristic whic...

Abstract: This article presents an exact cooperative method for the solution of the multidimensional knapsack problem ( ) MKP which combines dynamic programming and branch and bound. Our method makes cooperate a dynamic programming heuristics based on surrogate relaxation and a branch and bound procedure. Our algorithm was tested for several randomly generated test sets and problems in the lite...

We explore a community-detection cellular automata algorithm inspired by human heuristics, based on information diffusion and a non-linear processing phase with a dynamics inspired by human heuristics. The main point of the methods is that of furnishing different “views” of the clustering levels from an individual point of view. We apply the method to networks with local connectivity and long-r...

This article presents an exact cooperative method for the solution of the Multidimensional Knapsack Problem (MKP ) which combines dynamic programming and branch and bound. Our method makes cooperate a dynamic programming heuristics based on surrogate relaxation and a branch and bound procedure. Our algorithm was tested for several randomly generated test sets and problems in the literature. Sol...
