In this paper we address a real world optimisation problem, the Rail Track Inspection Scheduling Problem (RTISP). This problem consists of scheduling network inspection tasks. The...
The vast size of real world stochastic programming instances requires sampling to make them practically solvable. In this paper we extend the understanding of how sampling affects ...
Abstract- Simulated annealing (SA) is an effective general heuristic method for solving many combinatorial optimization problems. This paper deals with two problems in SA. One is ...
Optical Multistage Interconnection Networks (MINs) suffer from optical-loss during switching and crosstalk problem in the switches. The crosstalk problem is solved by routing mess...
The vehicle routing problem (VRP) is a variant of the familiar travelling salesperson problem (TSP). In the VRP we are to perform a number of visits, using a number of vehicles of ...
