The paper presents a comparison of two metaheuristic approaches in solving a constrained loading scheduling problem. We compared Parameter-less Evolutionary Search and Ant-Stigmergy Algorithm. The transportation loading problem is NP-hard, and is applicable to different real-life situations with high frequency of loading and unloading operations; like in depots, warehouses and ports.

B.03 Paper at an international scientific conference
COBISS.SI-ID: 22077223This paper presents a new distributed approach. The approach is based on ant-stigmergy metaheuristics where indirect coordination between ants drives the search procedure towards the optimal solution. Indirect coordination offers a high degree of parallelism and therefore a straightforward implementation. For communication between processes a MPICH2 for Windows library is used. The cost function evaluation is an important part of numerical optimization and is usually realized as black-box simulator. Therefore, an algorithm analysis according to simulator’s time complexity is discussed.
B.03 Paper at an international scientific conference
COBISS.SI-ID: 22757159In this invited talk, a recently proposed Ant-Colony based approach, called Differential Ant Stigmergy Algorithm, was presented. Furthermore, to speed-up the algorithm's execution, a parallelized versions using Multi-Processing (shared memory approach) and Message Passing Interface (distributed memory approach) was discussed. The talk ended with some examples of real-world applications.
