Sails: Hybrid Algorithm For The Team Orienteering Problem With Time Windows, Aldy Gunawan, Hoong Chuin Lau, Kun Lu Aug 2015

Sails: Hybrid Algorithm For The Team Orienteering Problem With Time Windows, Aldy Gunawan, Hoong Chuin Lau, Kun Lu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The Team Orienteering Problem with Time Windows (TOPTW) is the extended version of the Orienteering Problem where each node is limited by a given time window. The objective is to maximize the total collected score from a certain number of paths. In this paper, a hybridization of Simulated Annealing and Iterated Local Search, namely SAILS, is proposed to solve the TOPTW. The efficacy of the proposed algorithm is tested using benchmark instances. The results show that the proposed algorithm is competitive with the state-of-the-art algorithms in the literature. SAILS is able to improve the best known solutions for 19 benchmark …


An Iterated Local Search Algorithm For Solving The Orienteering Problem With Time Windows, Aldy Gunawan, Hoong Chuin Lau, Kun Lu Apr 2015

An Iterated Local Search Algorithm For Solving The Orienteering Problem With Time Windows, Aldy Gunawan, Hoong Chuin Lau, Kun Lu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The Orienteering Problem with Time Windows (OPTW) is a variant of the Orienteering Problem (OP). Given a set of nodes including their scores, service times and time windows, the goal is to maximize the total of scores collected by a particular route considering a predefined time window during which the service has to start. We propose an Iterated Local Search (ILS) algorithm to solve the OPTW, which is based on several LocalSearch operations, such as swap, 2-opt, insert and replace. We also implement the combination between AcceptanceCriterion and Perturbation mechanisms to control the balance between diversification and intensification of the …


Designing A Portfolio Of Parameter Configurations For Online Algorithm Selection, Aldy Gunawan, Hoong Chuin Lau, Mustafa Misir Jan 2015

Designing A Portfolio Of Parameter Configurations For Online Algorithm Selection, Aldy Gunawan, Hoong Chuin Lau, Mustafa Misir

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Algorithm portfolios seek to determine an effective set of algorithms that can be used within an algorithm selection framework to solve problems. A limited number of these portfolio studies focus on generating different versions of a target algorithm using different parameter configurations. In this paper, we employ a Design of Experiments (DOE) approach to determine a promising range of values for each parameter of an algorithm. These ranges are further processed to determine a portfolio of parameter configurations, which would be used within two online Algorithm Selection approaches for solving different instances of a given combinatorial optimization problem effectively. We …
