A unified tabu search algorithm for vehicle routing problems with soft time windows [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The different ways of allowing time window violations lead to different types of the vehicle routing problems with soft time windows (VRPSTW). In this paper, different types of VRPSTW are analysed.

An ant colony genetic fusion routing algorithm based on soft define network

open access: yesIET Networks, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Aiming at the problem that there are many paths in data forwarding in soft define network (SDN) network, and the optimal path is difficult to find, combined with the advantages of ant colony algorithm and Genetic algorithm (GA), a routing control strategy based on the ant colony genetic fusion algorithm is proposed.

Large-scale timetabling problems with adaptive tabu search

open access: yesJournal of Intelligent Systems, 2022
Timetabling problems are specific types of scheduling problems that deal with assigning certain events to the timeslots. This assigning is subject to certain hard constraints that should be achieved to get a feasible timetable and soft constraints that ...
