In this paper, we develop new heuristic procedures for the maximum diversity problem (MDP). This NPhard problem has a significant number of practical applications such as environm...
Balancing assembly lines is a crucial task for manufacturing companies in order to improve productivity and minimize production costs. Despite some progress in exact methods to so...

Algorithms for the construction of software interaction test suites have focussed on the special case of pairwise coverage; less is known about efficiently constructing test suite...
Standard tabu search methods are based on the complete exploration of current solution neighborhood. However, for some problems with very large neighborhood or time-consuming eval...

A very undesirable behavior of any heuristic algorithm is to be stuck in some specific parts of the search space, in particular in the basins of attraction of the local optima. Wh...
