Grouping problems are combinatorial optimization problems, most of them NP-hard, related
to the partition of a set of items into different groups or clusters. Given their numerous real …

In this study, the one-dimensional Bin Packing Problem (BPP) is approached. The BPP is a
classical optimization problem that is known for its applicability and complexity. We propose …

Grouping problems are a special type of combinatorial optimization problems that have
gained great relevance because of their numerous real-world applications. The solution …

Abstract The Team Formation problem (TFP) has become a well-known problem in the OR
