Rafael Martí

Presentation

Rafael Martí is Professor in the Statistics and Operations Research department at the University of Valencia, Spain. His office (#423) is located in the third floor of the Faculty of Mathematics (Campus de Burjassot). His teaching is devoted to the introduction of Statistics in Social Sciences, Integer and Linear Programming in Mathematics and heuristics in postgraduate studies (master and doctoral). His research interest focuses on the development of metaheuristics for hard optimization problems. He is co-author of the Scatter Search (Kluwer 2003) and The Linear Ordering Problem (Springer 2011) monographs. Prof. Martí is currently Area Editor in the Journal of Heuristics and Associate Editor in the Mathematical Programming Computation and the International Journal of Metaheuristics. He has published a large number of JCR-indexed journal papers and coordinates the Red HEUR research network on heuristics, and the cooperation project Schools of Nicaragua.

Desarrolla su labor docente en materias de introducción a la estadística en el área de sociales, la programación lineal y la entera en matemáticas y los procedimientos heurísticos en postgrado (master y doctorado). Su labor investigadora se centra en el desarrollo de procedimientos metaheurísticos en problemas de optimización. Es co-autor de las monografías Scatter Search editada por Kluwer (2003) y The Linear Ordering Problem editada por Springer (2011). El profesor Martí actualmente es editor de área de la revista Journal of Heuristics y editor asociado de las revistas Mathematical Programming Computation e International Journal of Metaheuristics. Ha publicado numerosos artículos en revistas indexadas en el JCR y coordina la Red HEUR sobre optimización heurística y el proyecto de cooperación al desarrollo Escoles de Nicaragua.

OPTSICOM

Research project

Rafael Martí coordinates the OPTSICOM research project. The acronym comes from Optimization of Complex Systems. In this project we develop algorithms, based on metaheuristic methods, which integrated in a software, solve hard optimization problems. It has been funded by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación under codes TIN2006-02696 (2007-2009) and TIN2009-07516 (2010-2012). In the OPTSICOM website codes, instances and best known solutions for the problems in which we are working are available.
