This work describes a distributed framework for routing path optimization in Optical Burst-Switched (OBS) networks that loosely mimics the foraging behaviour of ants observed in na...
Abstract—In this paper the author presents three approaches to parallel Tabu Search, applied to several instances of the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (CV...
Ant colony optimization (ACO) is a well known metaheuristic. In the literature it has been used for tackling many optimization problems. Often, ACO is hybridized with a local sear...
Rich vehicle routing problems try to represent situations that can be found in reality. Starting from a case study, in this paper a rich vehicle routing problem is analyzed. The e...

In this paper we propose a new parallelization scheme for Simulated Annealing — Hierarchical Parallel SA (HPSA). This new scheme features coarse-granularity in parallelization, d...
