The sequential parameter optimization (spot) package for R (R Development Core Team, 2008) is a toolbox for tuning and understanding simulation and optimization algorithms. Model-...
We consider the global optimization problem for d-variate Lipschitz functions which, in a certain sense, do not increase too slowly in a neighborhood of the global minimizer(s). O...
We introduce a new class of compiler heuristics: hybrid optimizations. Hybrid optimizations choose dynamically at compile time which optimization algorithm to apply from a set of d...

The Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows is a complex combinatorial problem with many real-world applications in transportation and distribution logistics. Its main objective...
This paper considers a single-vehicle Dial-a-Ride problem in which customers may experience stochastic delays at their pickup locations. If a customer is absent when the vehicle s...
