As a NP-Complete problem, multicast routing with delay constraint is a research difficulty in routing problem. Tabu Search is artificial intelligence algorithm, which is an extension of local search algorithm and has simple realization and well properties. In this paper, an efficient algorithm based on Tabu Search for Delay-Constrained Low-Cost Multicast Routing is proposed to solve delay-const...

In this paper, we develop new heuristic procedures for the maximum diversity problem (MDP). This NPhard problem has a significant number of practical applications such as environmental balance, telecommunication services or genetic engineering. The proposed algorithm is based on the tabu search methodology and incorporates memory structures for both construction and improvement. Although propos...

Routing in networks is the major issue, because the packets may be sent through different topologies. This issue is addressed with the help of the metaheuristic algorithm. In the proposed work the Genetic Algorithm (GA) is integrated with Tabu Search to schedule the packets effectively in computer networks. The initial path is generated by Genetic Algorithm and then it is optimized by Tabu Sear...

In this study, we discuss the capacitated facility location-allocation problem with uncertain parameters in which the uncertainty is characterized by given finite numbers of scenarios. In this model, the objective function minimizes the total expected costs of transportation and opening facilities subject to the robustness constraint. To tackle the problem efficiently and effectively, an effici...

The vehicle routing problem with the capacity constraints was considered in this paper. It is quite difficult to achieve an optimal solution with traditional optimization methods by reason of the high computational complexity for large-scale problems. Consequently, new heuristic or metaheuristic approaches have been developed to solve this problem. In this paper, we constructed a new heuristic ...

This paper introduces a hybrid Tabu Search Evolutionary Algorithm for solving the binary constraint satisfaction problem, called CTLEA. A continuation of an earlier introduced algorithm, called the STLEA, the CTLEA replaces the earlier compound label tabu list with a conflict tabu list. Extensive experimental fine-tuning of parameters was performed to optimise the performance of the algorithm o...

In this paper we propose a tabu search implementation to solve the unrelated parallel machines scheduling problem with sequenceand machinedependent setup times to minimize the schedule’s makespan. The problem is NP-hard and finding an optimal solution efficiently is unlikely. Therefore, heuristic techniques are more appropriate to find near-optimal solutions. The proposed tabu search algorithm...

This paper presents a packing algorithm to solve an irregular shape strip packing problem. The polygons are packed in strip material, which limits a bin width but not limits a bin length. The objective of a packing algorithm is to minimize a bin length. This paper proposes a hybrid method of genetic algorithms and tabu search to solve a packing problem. Initially, a hybrid method behaves like r...

Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) have successfully been applied in numerous domains to show the relations between essential components in complex systems. In this paper, a novel learning method is proposed to construct FCMs based on historical data and by using meta-heuristic: Genetic Algorithm (GA), Simulated Annealing (SA), and Tabu Search (TS). Implementation of the proposed method has demonstrat...
