The Fuzzy Clustering Problem (FCP) is a mathematical program which is difficult to solve since it is nonconvex, which implies possession of many local minima. The fuzzy C-means heuristic is the widely known approach to this problem, but it is guaranteed only to yield local minima. In this paper, we

The Capacitated Shortest Spanning Tree Problem consists of determining a shortest spanning tree in a vertex weighted graph such that the weight of every subtree linked to the root by an edge does not exceed a prescribed capacity. We propose a tabu search heuristic for this problem, as well as dynami
This paper presents a parallel tabu search algorithm for the container loading problem with a single container to be loaded. The emphasis is on the case of a weakly heterogeneous load. The distributed-parallel approach is based on the concept of multi-search threads according to Toulouse et al. [Iss
The automated analysis of patients' biomedical data can be used to derive diagnostic and prognostic inferences about the observed patients. Many noninvasive techniques for acquiring biomedical samples generate data that are characterized by a large number of distinct attributes (i.e., features) and
This paper describes a novel tabu search heuristic for the multi-trip vehicle routing and scheduling problem (MTVRSP). The method was developed to tackle real distribution problems, taking into account most of the constraints that appear in practice. In the MTVRSP, besides the constraints that are c
