How to use the Scuba Diving metaphor to solve problem with neutrality ?
Abstract. We proposed a new search heuristic using the scuba diving metaphor. This approach is based on the concept of evolvability and tends to exploit neutrality which exists in ...

A Distributed Chained Lin-Kernighan Algorithm for TSP Problems
The Chained Lin-Kernighan algorithm (CLK) is one of the best heuristics to solve Traveling Salesman Problems (TSP). In this paper a distributed algorithm is proposed, were nodes i...
