Metaheuristics represent an important class of techniques to solve, approximately, hard combinatorial optimization problems for which the use of exact methods is impractical. In t...

This paper presents the Scatter Search Particle Filter (SSPF) algorithm and its application to the Dynamic Travelling Salesman Problem (DTSP). SSPF combines sequential estimation a...
The Shortest Common Supersequence Problem (SCSP) is a well-known hard combinatorial optimization problem that formalizes many real world problems. This paper presents a novel rando...
