A CONSTRAINED SOLID TSP IN FUZZY ENVIRONMENT: TWO HEURISTIC APPROACHES
A solid travelling salesman problem (STSP) is a travelling salesman problem (TSP) where the salesman visits all the cities only once in his tour using dierent conveyances to travel from one city to another. Costs and environmental eect factors for travelling between the cities using dierent conveyances are dierent. Goal of the problem is to nd a complete tour with minimum cost that damages the ...

The algorithm of Ant Colony System (ACS) has been found attractive for solving combinatorial optimization problem such as Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP). The run-time for this algorithm increases with increase in number of nodes. In this paper, we propose an efficient method that reduces the run-time for very large-scale Euclidean TSP problem and yet conserve the quality of solution for cert...

متن کاملImplementation of a Parallel Algorithm Based on a Spark Cloud Computing Platform
Parallel algorithms, such as the ant colony algorithm, take a long time when solving large-scale problems. In this paper, the MAX-MIN Ant System algorithm (MMAS) is parallelized to solve Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) based on a Spark cloud computing platform. We combine MMAS with Spark MapReduce to execute the path building and the pheromone operation in a distributed computer cluster. To im...
