— One of the major drawbacks of the Hopfield network is that when it is applied to certain polytopes of combinatorial problems, such as the traveling salesman problem (TSP), the...
This paper presents a new meta heuristic algorithm based on the search method called simulated annealing, and its application to solving multi objective simulation optimization pr...

In this paper we formulate a combinatorial auction brokering problem as a set packing problem and apply a simulated annealing heuristic with hybrid local moves to solve the proble...
A parallel simulated annealing algorithm to solve the vehicle routing problem with time windows is presented. The objective is to find the best possible solutions to some wellkno...
Two general-purpose metaheuristic algorithms for solving multiobjective stochastic combinatorial optimization problems are introduced: SP-ACO (based on the Ant Colony Optimization ...
