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 Statistics, Mathematical Programming, and Heuristic Optimization. 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, and has secured an american patent. Prof. Martí is currently Area Editor in the Journal of Heuristics and Associate Editor in the Math. Prog. Computation, TOP, and the Int. Journal of Metaheuristics. He has published a large number of JCR-indexed journal papers and coordinates the Red HEUR research network on heuristic optimization. Martí is invited Professor at the University of Colorado (USA), University of Molde (Norway), and University of Bretagne-Sud (France).

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), and by the Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad under code TIN2012-35632 (2013-2015). In the OPTSICOM website , codes, instances and best known solutions for the problems in which we are working are available.
