- In this paper we present ACS, a distributed algorithm for the solution of combinatorial optimization problems which was inspired by the observation of real colonies of ants. We a...
This paper deals with the job-shop scheduling problem with sequencedependent setup times. We propose a new method to solve the makespan minimization problem to optimality. The met...
Previous literature on the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) assumed that the sites to be visited are stationary. Motivated by practical applications, we introduce a time-dependent ...

In this paper we review the exact algorithms proposed in the last three decades for the solution of the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW). The exact algorithms for...
By the use of the GRIBB software for distributed computing across the Internet, we are investigating the obstacles and the potential for efficient parallelization of Branch and Bou...
