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...
—Genetic Algorithms (GAs) have a good potential of solving the Gate Assignment Problem (GAP) at airport terminals, and the design of feasible and efficient evolutionary operators...
We consider a problem faced by train companies: How can trains be assigned to satisfy scheduled routes in a cost efficient way? Currently, many railway companies create solutions b...
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...
Using a recently proposed model for combinatorial landscapes, Local Optima Networks (LON), we conduct a thorough analysis of two types of instances of the Quadratic Assignment Prob...
