Data-driven evolutionary optimization has witnessed great success in solving complex real-world problems. However, existing data-driven algorithms require that all data are centrally stored, which is not always practical and may be vulnerable to privacy leakage security threats if the must collected from different devices. To address above issue, this paper proposes a federated framework able p...

The multiple traveling salesman problem (MTSP) is a generalization of the famous traveling salesman problem (TSP), where more than one salesman is used in the solution. Although the MTSP is a typical kind of computationally complex combinatorial optimization problem, it can be extended to a wide variety of routing problems. This paper presents an efficient and evolutionary optimization algorith...
