Ant algorithm for flow assignment in connection-oriented networks

Krzysztof Walkowiak (2005)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

This work introduces ANB (bf Ant Algorithm for bf Non-bf Bifurcated Flows), a novel approach to capacitated static optimization of flows in connection-oriented computer networks. The problem considered arises naturally from several optimization problems that have recently received significant attention. The proposed ANB is an ant algorithm motivated by recent works on the application of the ant algorithm to solving various problems related to computer networks. However, few works concern...

Quasi-hierarchical evolution algorithm for flow assignment in survivable connection-oriented networks

Michal Przewozniczek, Krzysztof Walkowiak (2006)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The main objective of this paper is to develop an effective evolutionary algorithm (EA) for the path-assignment problem in survivable connection-oriented networks. We assume a single-link failure scenario, which is the most common and frequently reported failure event. Since the network flow is modeled as a non-bifurcated multicommodity flow, the discussed optimization problem is NP-complete. Thus, we develop an effective heuristic algorithm based on an evolutionary algorithm. The main...

Variable Neighborhood Search for Solving the Capacitated Single Allocation Hub Location Problem

Maric, Miroslav (2013)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

In this paper a Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) algorithm for solving the Capacitated Single Allocation Hub Location Problem (CSAHLP) is presented. CSAHLP consists of two subproblems; the first is choosing a set of hubs from all nodes in a network, while the other comprises finding the optimal allocation of non-hubs to hubs when a set of hubs is already known. The VNS algorithm was used for the first subproblem, while the CPLEX solver was used for the second. Computational results...

A memetic algorithm for the vehicle routing problem with time windows

Nacima Labadi, Christian Prins, Mohamed Reghioui (2008)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Similarity:

This article deals with the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW). This problem consists in determining a least-cost set of trips to serve customers during specific time windows. The proposed solution method is a memetic algorithm (MA), a genetic algorithm hybridised with a local search. Contrary to most papers on the VRPTW, which minimize first the number of vehicles, our method is also able to minimize the total distance travelled. The results on 56 classical instances...
