Many real-life applications of the vehicle routing problem (VRP) occur in scenarios subject to uncertainty or dynamic conditions. Thus, for instance, traveling times or customers’ demands might be better modeled as random variables than as deterministic ...

Disruption Management Approaches for Berth Scheduling in Bulk Terminals
Maritime terminals are complex transportation systems sensitive to several sources of uncertainty. An alteration in the baseline planning, as a consequence of one or more disruptive events, can lead terminals to a lower quality of the service provided.

A SIMHEURISTIC ALGORITHM FOR SOLVING AN INTEGRATED RESOURCE ALLOCATION AND SCHEDULING PROBLEM [PDF]
Modern companies have to face challenging configuration issues in their manufacturing chains. One of these challenges is related to the integrated allocation and scheduling of resources such as machines, workers, energy, etc. These integrated optimization problems are difficult to solve, but they can be even more challenging when real-life uncertainty ...

Evolutionary algorithms for a simheuristic optimization of the product-service system design
AbstractOffering Product-Service Systems (PSS) becomes an established strategy for companies to increase the provided customer value and ensure their competitiveness. Designing PSS business models, however, remains a major challenge. One reason for this is the fact that PSS business models are characterized by a long-term nature.

A New Simheuristic Approach for Stochastic Runway Scheduling [PDF]
We consider a stochastic, dynamic runway scheduling problem involving aircraft landings on a single runway. Sequencing decisions are made with knowledge of the estimated arrival times (ETAs) of all aircraft due to arrive at the airport, and these ETAs vary according to continuous-time stochastic processes.

A simheuristic algorithm for the capacitated location routing problem with stochastic demands [PDF]
[EN] The capacitated location routing problem (CLRP) integrates a facility location problem with a multi-depot vehicle routing problem. We consider the CLRP with stochastic demands, whose specific values are only revealed upon reaching each customer.

A simheuristic algorithm for the portfolio optimization problem with random returns and noisy covariances [PDF]
[EN] The goal of the portfolio optimization problem is to minimize risk for an expected portfolio return by allocating weights to included assets. As the pool of investable assets grows, and additional constraints are imposed, the problem becomes NP-hard. Thus, metaheuristics are commonly employed for solving large instances of rich versions.

Current Trends in Simheuristics: from smart transportation to agent-based simheuristics
Simheuristics extend metaheuristics by adding a simulation layer that allows the optimization component to deal efficiently with scenarios under uncertainty. This presentation reviews both initial as well as recent applications of simheuristics, mainly in the area of logistics and transportation.
