Abstract: In this paper, we propose a novel ant colony optimization algorithm based on improved brainstorm optimization (IBSO-ACO) to solve the vehicle routing problem with soft time windows. Compared ...

Abstract: The Multi-depot Vehicle Routing Problem with Uncertain Demand (MD-VRPUD) can be modeled as a bi-level optimization problem (BLOP), because it requires both assigning customers to different ...

AI constraint solver in Java to optimize the vehicle routing problem, employee rostering, task assignment, maintenance scheduling, conference scheduling and other planning problems. The open source ...

A Lightweight and User-Friendly EoH Framework for LLM-driven Automated Algorithm/Heuristic Design Heuristics are indispensable for tackling complex search and optimization problems. However, manual ...
