Exact and metaheuristic approaches to minimizing makespan in parallel machine scheduling with conflicting jobs

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract We address the scheduling conflicting jobs on parallel identical machines problem with makespan minimization, a classical and computationally challenging variant of parallel machine scheduling. We develop and evaluate three distinct solution methodologies: a novel constraint programming (CP) formulation, and two metaheuristics: a multi ...

Straddle carrier routing optimization at container terminals utilizing telemetry‐based prediction

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Efficient vehicle routing and scheduling for horizontal transport means on container terminals can reduce lead times and travel distances, resulting in fuel savings and productivity gains. We apply machine learning to emulate operational processes, bridging the gap between theoretical optimization models and real‐world practices at container ...

Production routing decisions in a two‐echelon supply chain with multiple delivery modes

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 3385-3421, September 2026.
Abstract We study an original two‐echelon production routing problem with multiple delivery modes (2E‐PRP‐MDM). In the first echelon, the primary production facility is tasked with satisfying the demands of two distinct entities: a set of warehouses and a set of customers through direct shipments. In the second echelon, warehouses become delivery hubs,

Chaotic Binarization Schemes for Solving Combinatorial Optimization Problems Using Continuous Metaheuristics

open access: yesMathematics
Chaotic maps are sources of randomness formed by a set of rules and chaotic variables. They have been incorporated into metaheuristics because they improve the balance of exploration and exploitation, and with this, they allow one to obtain better ...

An optimization model for the energy management of the network of tanks in a drinking water distribution system

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 2709-2730, July 2026.
Abstract “L'eau c'est la vie” is a well‐known French expression for “water is life,” which reflects the fact that water is undoubtedly the most vital resource in the world. The main mission for water utility companies is to convey and distribute water that is of acceptable quality to satisfy the demand of the population at any time of the day.

Beyond metaphors: rethinking metaphors in metaheuristics algorithm design

open access: yesnpj Artificial Intelligence
Although research in metaheuristics has become increasingly automated, considerable effort is still devoted to identifying new sources of inspiration for the manual design of so-called metaphor-based algorithms.

Finding Maximum Weight 2‐Packing Sets on Arbitrary Graphs

open access: yesNetworks, Volume 87, Issue 4, Page 404-427, June 2026.
ABSTRACT A 2‐packing set for an undirected, weighted graph G=(V,E,w) is a subset 𝒮⊆V such that any two vertices v1,v2∈𝒮 are not adjacent and have no common neighbors. The Maximum Weight 2‐Packing Set problem that asks for a 2‐packing set of maximum weight is NP‐hard.
