The paper describes a general glance to the use of element exchange techniques for optimization over permutations. A multi-level description of problems is proposed which is a fund...
We consider the multilevel paradigm and its potential to aid the solution of combinatorial optimisation problems. The multilevel paradigm is a simple one, which at its most basic ...
We present a hybrid solver (called GELATO) that exploits the potentiality of a Constraint Programming (CP) environment (Gecode) and of a Local Search (LS) framework (EasyLocal++ )....

The particular strength of CBR is normally considered to be its use in weak theory domains where solution quality is compiled into cases and is reusable. In this paper we explore a...
We consider the problem of estimating the tour length and finding approximation algorithms for the asymmetric traveling salesman problem arising from the disk scheduling problem. ...
