A general-purpose, simulation-based algorithm S-ACO for solving stochastic combinatorial optimization problems by means of the ant colony optimization (ACO) paradigm is investigate...
The paper presents a new distributed metaheuristic algorithm in an optimal control problem related to the cooling process in the continuous casting of steel. The optimization task...

This research screens the tuning parameters of a combinatorial optimization heuristic. Specifically, it presents a Design of Experiments (DOE) approach that uses a Fractional Fac...
The Manpower Allocation Problem with Time Windows, Job-Teaming Constraints and a limited number of teams (mMAPTWTC) is a crew scheduling problem faced in several different context...
