Abstract. This paper introduces a new algorithm, based on the concept of ejection chains, to effectively target vehicle routing problems with time window constraints (VRPTW). Ejec...
Abstract. The maximum diversity problem (MDP) consists in identifying, in a population, a subset of elements, characterized by a set of attributes, that present the most diverse ch...

A lot of heuristic approaches have been explored in the last two decades in order to tackle large size optimization problems. These areas include parallel meta-heuristics, hybrid m...
We present a shared memory approach to the parallelization of the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) metaheuristic and a performance comparison with an existing message passing implemen...
Image registration is a very active research area in computer vision, namely it is used to find a transformation between two images taken under different conditions. Point matchi...
