Abstract. This paper introduces a new tabu search algorithm for a twodimensional (2D) Strip Packing Problem (2D-SPP). It integrates several key features: A direct representation of...
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...
Hybrid algorithms combining local and systematic search often use nondeterminism in fundamentally different ways. They may differ in the strategy to explore the search tree and/o...
