There are two reasons for parallelizing a metaheuristic if one is interested in performance: (i) given a fixed time to search, the aim is to increase the quality of the solutions f...
Abstract. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in addressing dynamic optimization problems (DOPs) using evolutionary algorithms (EAs). Several approaches have been de...
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) has been applied successfully in solving the Traveling Salesman Problem. Marco Dorigo et al. used Ant System (AS) to explore the Symmetric Traveling S...
We introduce a novel combinatorial optimization problem: the one-commodity traveling salesman problem with selective pickup and delivery (1-TSP-SELPD), characterized by the fact th...
