Mining network motif discovery by learning techniques (2019)

Properties of complex networks represent a powerful set of tools that can be used to study the complex behaviour of these systems of interconnections. They can vary from properties represented as simplistic metrics (number of edges and nodes) to properties that reflect complex information of the connection between entities part of the network (assortativity…

An empirical analysis of the correlation between the motifs frequency and the topological properties of complex networks (2019)

Complex networks are data structures with great importance in representing real world interactions which surrounds us. While their structures might look chaotic at a first glance, the focus of most on-going studies in this field is in understanding how their topological properties influence the dynamics of a complex network’s structure in order to prove…

A four-phase meta-heuristic algorithm for solving large scale instances of the Shift minimization personnel task scheduling problem (2018)

The Shift minimization personnel task scheduling problem (SMPTSP) is a known NP-hard problem. The present paper introduces a novel four-phase meta-heuristic approach for solving the Shift minimization personnel task scheduling problem which consists of an optimal assignment of jobs to multi-skilled employees, such that a minimal number of employees is used and no job…
