We present a Tabu Search (TS) method that employs a simple version of ejection chains for coloring graphs. The procedure is tested on a set of benchmark problems. Empirical result...
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...

We describe the Enhanced Evolutionary Tabu Search (EE-TS) local search technique. The EE-TS metaheuristic technique combines Reactive Tabu Search with evolutionary computing eleme...
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...
