This paper aims at integrating machine learning techniques into meta-heuristics for solving combinatorial optimization problems. Specifically, our study develops a novel efficient …
The key idea underlying iterated local search is to focus the search not on the full space of all candidate solutions but on the solutions that are returned by some underlying algorithm …
Abstract Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) is an Np-Hard problem, for which various solutions have been offered so far. Using the Harris Hawk Optimization (HHO) algorithm, this …
The static bike rebalancing problem (SBRP) concerns the task of repositioning bikes among stations in self-service bike-sharing systems. This problem can be seen as a variant of the …
Abstract The Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm is a swarm intelligence approach which has initially been proposed to solve optimisation of mathematical test functions with a unique …
The hybrid flowshop scheduling problem (HFSP) has been widely studied in the literature, as it has many real-life applications in industry. Even though many solution approaches …
The permutation flowshop scheduling problem (PFSP) has been extensively explored in scheduling literature because it has many real-world industrial implementations. In some …
The no-idle permutation flowshop scheduling problem (NIPFSP) extends the well-known permutation flowshop scheduling problem, where idle time is not allowed on the machines …
Abstract The Clustered Vehicle Routing Problem (CluVRP) is a variant of the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem in which customers are grouped into clusters. Each cluster has to …
