The workforce scheduling and routing problem (WSRP) is a combinatorial optimisation problem where a set of workers must perform visits to geographically scattered locations. We present a Variable Neighbourhood Search (VNS) metaheuristic algorithm to... Read More about A variable neighbourhood search for the workforce scheduling and routing problem.

Toward better build volume packing in additive manufacturing: classification of existing problems and benchmarks (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Araujo, L., Özcan, E., Atkin, J., Baumers, M., Tuck, C., & Hague, R. J. (2015). Toward better build volume packing in additive manufacturing: classification of existing problems and benchmarks.

In many cases, the efficient operation of Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology relies on build volumes being packed effectively. Packing algorithms have been developed in response to this requirement. The configuration of AM build volumes is partic...

Analysis of objectives relationships in multiobjective problems using trade-off region maps (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Pinheiro, R. L., Landa-Silva, D., & Atkin, J. (2015). Analysis of objectives relationships in multiobjective problems using trade-off region maps.

Understanding the relationships between objectives in many-objective optimisation problems is desirable in order to develop more effective algorithms. We propose a techniquefor the analysis and visualisation of complex relationships between many (thr...
