In this paper we formulate the combinatorial auction brokering problem as a Set Packing Problem (SPP) and apply a simulated annealing heuristic to solve SPP. Experimental results ...
This article describes applications of modern heuristic search methods to pattern sequencing problems, i.e., problems seeking for a permutation of the rows of a given matrix with r...
Given a graph G, the Shortest Capacitated Paths Problem (SCPP) consists of determining a set of paths of least total length, linking given pairs of vertices in G, and satisfying c...
When evaluating a heuristic for a combinatorial problem, randomly generated instances of the problem may not provide a thorough exploration of the heuristic's performance, an...
The quadratic multiple knapsack problem extends the quadratic knapsack problem with K knapsacks, each with its own capacity Ck. A greedy heuristic fills the knapsacks one at a tim...
