This paper introduces a new self-tuning mechanism to the local search heuristic for solving of combinatorial optimization problems. Parameter tuning of heuristics makes them difficult to apply, as parameter tuning itself ...

This paper aims at analysing the impacts of interdependencies between electricity and natural gas systems in terms of security of energy supply. When analysing both systems several interdependencies can be observed, however, ...

Electrical-electronic waste (WEEE) is generated from electric and electronic devices at the end of their lifecycles. When WEEEs are disposed, burned or disassembled for recycling, they are transformed into products containing ...
