Hub-and-spoke networks are widely studied in the area of location theory. They arise in several contexts, including passenger airlines, postal and parcel delivery, and computer and telecommunication networks. Hub location ...

For this research, an experiment with two algorithmic variations of the Multi-Start heuristic method for local search was held in order to generate and assess the quality of solutions coming from different manufacturing ...

Vehicle routing problems occur in many practical situations where the distribution of goods and / or services to different demand points is necessary. In this context, this research aims to study a ship routing and scheduling ...
