This paper introduces a new tabu search algorithm for a strip packing problem. It integrates several key features: A consistent neighborhood, a fitness function including problem k...
This paper proposes a general framework for searching large distributed repositories. Examples of such repositories include sites with music/video content, distributed digital lib...
Combinatorial optimization problems naturally arise in many application areas, including logistics, manufacturing, supplychain management, and resource allocation. They often give...
In this paper we propose a new hybrid heuristic for solving 0-1 mixed integer programs based on the principle of variable neighbourhood decomposition search. It combines variable ...
Abstract. Variable elimination is the basic step of Adaptive Consistency 4 . It transforms the problem into an equivalent one, having one less variable. Unfortunately, there are ma...
