Editorial for the Special Issue on Combinatorial Optimization Problems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
First paragraph: In combinatorial optimization, the goal is to find an optimal solution, according to some objective function, from a discrete search space. These problems arise widely in industry and academia and, unfortunately, many of them are NP-hard

Approximating incremental combinatorial optimization problems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We consider incremental combinatorial optimization problems, in which a solution is constructed incrementally over time, and the goal is to optimize not the value of the final solution but the average value over all timesteps.

Ant colony optimisation and local search for bin-packing and cutting stock problems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The Bin Packing Problem and the Cutting Stock Problem are two related classes of NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems. Exact solution methods can only be used for very small instances, so for real-world problems, we have to rely on heuristic ...

Bee Colony Optimization - part II: The application survey [PDF]

open access: yesYugoslav Journal of Operations Research, 2015
Bee Colony Optimization (BCO) is a meta-heuristic method based on foraging habits of honeybees. This technique was motivated by the analogy found between the natural behavior of bees searching for food and the behavior of optimization algorithms
