While meta-heuristics are effective for solving large-scale combinatorial optimization problems, they result from time-consuming trial-and-error algorithm design tailored to speci...

We apply a Reactive Tabu Search (RTS) heuristic within a discrete-event simulation to solve routing problems for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Our formulation represents this p...

The Vehicle Routing Problem can be seen as a fusion of two well known combinatorial problems, the Travelling Salesman Problem and Bin Packing Problem. It has several variants, the...
In the paper we address the Distance-Constrained Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (DCVRP), where k minimum-cost routes through a central depot have to be constructed so as to co...

The quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is a central problem in combinatorial optimization. Several famous computationally hard tasks, such as graph matching, partitioning, and the...
