Viral systems : a new bio-inspired optimisation approach

The paper presents a new approach to deal with combinatorial problems. It makes use of a biological analogy inspired by the performance of viruses. The replication mechanism, as well as the hosts’ infection processes is used to generate a metaheuristic that allows the obtention of valuable results....
