In this paper we describe the automatic instantiation of a Variable Neighborhood Descent procedure from a Mixed Integer Programming model. We extend a recent approach in which a single neighborhood structure is automatically designed from a Mixed Integer Programming model using a combination of...

Conflict-Free Vehicle Routing Problems(CF-VRPs) arise in manufacturing, transportation and logistics facilities where Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are utilized to move loads. Unlike Vehicle Routing Problems arising in distribution management, CF-VRPs explicitly consider the limited capacity...

In sustainable agriculture, intercropping systems represent a valuable approach. These systems involve placing mutually beneficial plant types in close proximity to each other, with the goal of exploiting biodiversity to reduce pesticide and water usage, as well as improve soil nutrient...
