The goal of this paper is to propose a tabu search heuristic for the car sequencing problem (CSP) used for the ROADEF 2005 international Challenge. This NP-hard problem was propos...
Background: Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is a useful tool in bioinformatics. Although many MSA algorithms have been developed, there is still room for improvement in accuracy...
This paper examines a network design problem that arises in the telecommunications industry. In this problem, communication between a gateway vertex and a number of demand vertice...
