Optimised search heuristic combining valid inequalities and tabu search [PDF]
This paper presents an Optimised Search Heuristic that combines a tabu search method with the verification of violated valid inequalities. The solution delivered by the tabu search is partially destroyed by a randomised greedy procedure, and then the ...

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The integration of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria into sustainable development exposes critical limitations in traditional cost modelling for Asset Lifecycle Management. Through a systematic review of 64 studies (2016–2025), this research identifies gaps including the compartmentalisation of ESG factors, methodological ...

Local Search and the Evolution of World Models
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract An open question regarding how people develop their models of the world is how new candidates are generated for consideration out of infinitely many possibilities. We discuss the role that evolutionary mechanisms play in this process. Specifically, we argue that when it comes to developing a global world model, innovation is necessarily ...

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Social innovation (SI) is increasingly recognised as an important enabler of circular economy (CE) transitions. However, existing research offers limited explanation of the processes through which SI operationalises CE principles, as SI and CE have largely evolved in parallel and existing conceptualisations remain predominantly descriptive ...

A Tabu Search Heuristic Procedure for the Capacitated Facility Location Problem [PDF]
A tabu search heuristic procedure for the capacitated facility location problem is developed, implemented and computationally tested. The heuristic procedure uses both short term and long term memories to perform the main search process as well as the ...

A Novel Approach to Energy Management in Electric Steelworks
steel research international, EarlyView.Feed‐forward neural networks are exploited to estimate electric energy consumptions of the electric arc furnace and ladle furnace processes. The models are used to optimize production schedule so that more energy intensive grades are produced when the cost of energy is lower.
