This paper introduces a bi-objective winner-determination problem and presents a multiobjectivegenetic algorithm to solve it. The problem examined arises in the procurement of transportation contractsvia combinatorial auctions. It is modeled as an extension to the set-covering problem and...

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....
