Abstract- Simulated annealing (SA) is an effective general heuristic method for solving many combinatorial optimization problems. This paper deals with two problems in SA. One is ...
Abstract. Consultant-Guided Search (CGS) is a recent swarm intelligence metaheuristic for combinatorial optimization problems, inspired by the way real people make decisions based ...
Abstract. We propose a new solution approach for the Job Shop Problem with Sequence Dependent Setup Times (SDST-JSP). The problem consists in scheduling jobs, each job being a set ...

We prove that various geometric covering problems, related to the Travelling Salesman Problem cannot be efficiently approximated to within any constant factor unless P = NP. This ...
We study the usefulness of lookahead in online server routing problems: if an online algorithm is not only informed about the requests released so far, but also has a limited abil...
