Martin Pelikan received an NSF award for research on model-directed hybridization in stochastic optimization. The total amount is about $446K for three years. The project title is "Model-Directed Hybridization: Principled Design of Hybrids of Model Building, Metaheuristics and More Traditional Optimization Techniques". Most of the award will be used to support MEDAL. - 13 August, 2008

Code to accompany MEDAL Report No. 2008001 on NK landscapes was posted online. The code provides three main packages: (1) A generator for random problem instances of the NK landscape model, (2) a branch-and-bound complete algorithm for NK landscapes, and (3) a genetic algorithm code illustrating the use of the code in one's own optimization method. Visit MEDAL Software page to download the code. - 18 January, 2008
