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 recent decades, many meta-heuristics, including genetic algorithm (GA), ant colony optimization (ACO) and various local search (LS) procedures have been developed for solving a...
This paper proposes a new algorithm based on the clonal selection principle for the design of spreading codes for DS-CDMA. The algorithm follows a multi-objective approach, genera...
