Abstract. In this paper the author presents three approaches to parallel Tabu Search, applied to several instances of the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem with soft Time Windows...
Abstract. In this work we extend a VNS for the periodic vehicle routing problem with time windows (PVRPTW) to a multiple VNS (mVNS) where several VNS instances are applied cooperat...
This paper presents an adaptive genetic algorithm (GA) to solve the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW) to near optimal solutions. The algorithm employs a unique dec...
Memetic algorithms usually employ long running times, since local search is performed every time a new solution is generated. Acceleration of a memetic algorithm requires focusing ...
Cellular Genetic Algorithms (cGAs) are a subclass of Genetic Algorithms (GAs) in which the population diversity and exploration are enhanced thanks to the existence of small overla...
