Comparing the performance of different meta-heuristics for unweighted parallel machine scheduling
This article considers the due window scheduling problem to minimise the number of early and tardy jobs on identical parallel machines. This problem is known to be NP complete and thus finding an optimal solution is unlikely.

Meta heuristics for the orienteering problem
This paper presents two meta-heuristic techniques, ant colony optimization and tabu search, for the orienteering problem, a general version of the well-known traveling salesman problem with many relevant applications in industry. Both algorithms are compared to other heuristics in the literature.

Problem Solving in Crowd Management Using Heuristic Approach
There are many problems that procedural algorithms can solve efficiently. However, these algorithms are sometimes too slow to abide by the time available for performing the solution; other times, it is impossible to get a solution using procedural ...

Two-Stage Multi-Objective Meta-Heuristics for Environmental and Cost-Optimal Energy Refurbishment at District Level [PDF]
Energy efficiency and environmental performance optimization at the district level are following an upward trend mostly triggered by minimizing the Global Warming Potential (GWP) to 20% by 2020 and 40% by 2030 settled by the European Union (EU) compared ...
