Abstract. We discuss a general approach to hybridize traditional construction heuristics for combinatorial optimization problems with numerical based evolutionary algorithms. There...
We present two hybrid Metaheuristics, a hybrid Iterated Local Search and a hybrid Simulated Annealing, for solving real-world extensions of the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Wi...

The connected facility location (ConFL) problem generalizes the facility location problem and the Steiner tree problem in graphs. Given a graph G = (V, E), a set of customers D ⊆...
Sudoku is a notorious logic-based puzzle that is popular with puzzle enthusiasts the world over. From a computational perspective, Sudoku is also a problem that belongs to the set ...
For the NP-hard Optimum Communication Spanning Tree (OCST) problem a cost minimizing spanning tree has to be found, where the cost depends on the communication volume between each ...
This paper deals with the Permutation Flow Shop scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing total flow time, and therefore reducing in-process inventory. A new hybrid meta...
This paper proposes a local search algorithm that makes use of a complex neighborhood relation based on a hybridization with a constructive heuristics for the classical resource-co...
