Abstract. We consider the two-echelon location-routing problem (2ELRP), a well-known problem in freight distribution arising when establishing a two-level transport system with lim...
Distributed constraint optimization (DCOP) is a promising approach to coordination, scheduling and task allocation in multi agent networks. In large-scale or low-bandwidth network...

In this paper, we propose a Quantified Distributed Constraint Optimization problem (QDCOP) that extends the framework of Distributed Constraint Optimization problems (DCOPs). DCOP...
We suggest a new heuristic for solving unconstrained continuous optimization problems. It is based on a generalized version of the variable neighborhood search metaheuristic. Diff...

Abstract. Iterated local search (ILS) is a powerful meta-heuristic algorithm applied to a large variety of combinatorial optimization problems. Contrary to evolutionary algorithms ...
