Bibliographies and Resources

This page collects interesting contributions by the hyper-heuristic and self-* search research communities. Contributions using the HyFlex framework are specially represented. Please send your contributions to gabriela.ochoa[at]nottingahm.ac.uk

Hyper-heuristic Online Bibliographies

• Kent McClymont (University of Exeter, UK),  created the hyper-heuristics.org website, as a "an open, free and hopefully publically driven website to maintain an up-to-date list of the latest hyper-heuristic research, algorithms, classifications, toolkits and other materials."
• Mustafa Misir (KAHO Sint-Lieven, Belgium) created and maintains an extensive  BIB and related BIB.
  
• Gabriela Ochoa (University of Nottingham, UK) started from an initial list by Prof. Edmund K. Burke and extended a BIB (maintained up to 2010).
