SPRITE is a “heuristic search algorithm”—meaning that it may not nab all possible solutions. But its speed makes it a useful first step.

We develop a search procedure for project scheduling problems with multiple resource constraints as well as precedence constraints. The procedure is applied to three popular search heuristics, ...

The goal is to minimise the tour costs consisting of wage, hotel costs, travelling expenses and penalty fees for possibly omitted customers. We present a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model ...

Scenario 4 In this scenario, the routing process remains the same but the mapping changes from GA to another heuristic search algorithm which is almost similar to the routing algorithm. In the new ...

A*-search using the max of the misplaced tile heuristic and the Manhattan distance heuristic Summarize all your data in a single table in a spreadsheet as described below. Based on your data, which ...
