A heuristic approach for multi-stage sequence-dependent group scheduling problems

We present several heuristic algorithms based on tabu search for solving the multi-stage sequence-dependent group scheduling (SDGS) problem by considering minimization of makespan as the criterion. As the problem is recognized to be strongly NP-hard, several meta (tabu) search-based solution algorithms are developed to efficiently solve industry-size problem instances. Also, two different initi...

A Framework for Adapting Population-Based and Heuristic Algorithms for Dynamic Optimization Problems

In this paper, a general framework was presented to boost heuristic optimization algorithms based on swarm intelligence from static to dynamic environments. Regarding the problems of dynamic optimization as opposed to static environments, evaluation function or constraints change in the time and hence place of optimization. The subject matter of the framework is based on the variability of the ...

Optimum Routing in the Urban Transportation Network by Integrating Genetic Meta-heuristic (GA) and Tabu Search (Ts) Algorithms

Urban transportation is one of the most important issues of urban life especially in big cities. Urban development, and subsequently the increase of routes and communications, make the role of transportation science more pronounced. The shortest path problem in a network is one of the most basic network analysis issues. In fact, finding answers to this question is necessity for higher level ana...

Modeling the Time Windows Vehicle Routing Problem in Cross-Docking Strategy Using Two Meta-Heuristic Algorithms

   In cross docking strategy, arrived products are immediately classified, sorted and organized with respect to their destination. Among all the problems related to this strategy, the vehicle routing problem (VRP) is very important and of special attention in modern technology. This paper addresses the particular type of VRP, called VRPCDTW, considering a time limitation for each customer/retai...
