Application of the Tabu Search Algorithm to Cryptography

open access: yesInternational Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications, 2017
Tabu search is a powerful algorithm that has been applied with great success to many difficult combinatorial problems. In this paper, we have designed and implemented a symmetrical encryption algorithm whose internal structure is mainly based on Tabu search algorithm.

Smart selective navigator (SSN): enhancing urban winter road maintenance through optimized arc routing with hard turn restrictions

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 3580-3597, September 2026.
Abstract This paper introduces a novel heuristic method, the smart selective navigator (SSN), for addressing arc routing problems (ARPs) with a focus on integrating hard turn restrictions in urban winter operations. Addressing a significant gap in existing ARP methodologies, SSN seamlessly incorporates common side constraints, such as vehicle ...

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,

Doctoral Problems and Taboos: Silence, Well‐Being and Academic Persistence in Czech Doctoral Education

open access: yesHigher Education Quarterly, Volume 80, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper examines how the taboos and problems perceived by doctoral students are associated with their well‐being and their intentions to persist in or leave academia. We distinguish between doctoral problems—stressors associated with doctoral study—and doctoral taboos, understood as issues that remain difficult to voice in relationships ...

Specialized tabu search algorithm applied to the reconfiguration of radial distribution systems

open access: yesInternational Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems
This work presents a specialized tabu search algorithm applied to the problem of electric power distribution systems primary feeders’ reconfiguration. The specialization is related to two fundamental aspects of the tabu search algorithm.

‘I Don't Want to Kill Any More Mice’: Taboo and Silence in PhD Education

open access: yesHigher Education Quarterly, Volume 80, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Improving the experience and well‐being of doctoral students requires a deep and nuanced understanding of their challenges. Traditionally, researchers have used reactive methods, such as surveys and interviews, to address these issues. However, some topics may be difficult to capture through these approaches, particularly those that are ...

Graph‐based imitation and reinforcement learning for efficient Benders decomposition

open access: yesAIChE Journal, Volume 72, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract This work introduces an end‐to‐end graph‐based agent for accelerating the computational efficiency of Benders Decomposition. The agent's policy is parameterized by a graph neural network, which takes as input a bipartite graph representation of the master problem and proposes a candidate solution.

Entanglement-Enhanced Quantum-Inspired Tabu Search Algorithm for Function Optimization

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2017
Many metaheuristic algorithms have been proposed to solve combinatorial and numerical optimization problems. Most optimization problems have high dependence, meaning that variables are strongly dependent on one another.

Fast Ejection Chain Algorithms for Vehicle Routing with Time Windows [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper introduces new ejection chain strategies to effectively target vehicle routing problems with time window constraints (VRPTW). Ejection chain procedures are based on the idea of compound moves that allow a variable number of solution components
