    Product Perfect Codes and Steganography 

    Rifà Coma, Josep; Rifà Pous, Helena

    A new coding technique to be used in steganography is evaluated. The performance of this new technique is computed and comparisons with the well-known theoretical upper bound, Hamming upper bound and basic LSB are established.

    Learnheuristics: hybridizing metaheuristics with machine learning for optimization with dynamic inputs 

    Calvet Liñan, Laura; Armas Adrián, Jésica de; Masip Rodo, David; Juan Pérez, Ángel Alejandro

    This paper reviews the existing literature on the combination of metaheuristics with machine learning methods and then introduces the concept of learnheuristics, a novel type of hybrid algorithms. Learnheuristics can be ...

    Difficulties and challenges of anomaly detection in smart cities: a laboratory analysis 

    García Font, Víctor; Garrigues Olivella, Carles; Rifà Pous, Helena

    Smart cities work with large volumes of data from sensor networks and other sources. To prevent data from being compromised by attacks or errors, smart city IT administrators need to apply attack detection techniques to ...

    A multi-agent based cooperative approach to scheduling and routing 

    Ouelhadj, Djamila; Beullens, Patrick; Ozcan, Ender; Juan Pérez, Ángel Alejandro; Burke, Edmund K.; Martin, Simon

    In this paper, we propose a general agent-based distributed framework where each agent is implementing a different metaheuristic/local search combination. Moreover, an agent continuously adapts itself during the search ...
