Heuristic Algorithms for the Heterogeneous Vehicle Routing Problem With Time Windows, Customers Priority, Pickup and Delivery by Moayad Tanash, Rami As'Ad

“…Both heuristics possess a two-phase structure, where the first phase yields highly prudent initial solutions employing a Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP) in the first heuristic, and Priority-Based Ant Colony Optimization (PBACO) in the second heuristic. As for the second phase, both heuristics embrace a common Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) algorithm that explores seven different neighborhoods to improve upon the initial solutions. …”

Software-defined networking QoS optimization based on deep reinforcement learning by Julong LAN, Xueshuai ZHANG, Yuxiang HU, Penghao SUN

“…To solve the problem that the QoS optimization schemes which based on heuristic algorithm degraded often due to the mismatch between parameters and network characteristics in software-defined networking scenarios,a software-defined networking QoS optimization algorithm based on deep reinforcement learning was proposed.Firstly,the network resources and state information were integrated into the network model,and then the flow perception capability was improved by the long short-term memory,and finally the dynamic flow scheduling strategy,which satisfied the specific QoS objectives,were generated in combination with deep reinforcement learning.The experimental results show that,compared with the existing algorithms,the proposed algorithm not only ensures the end-to-end delay and packet loss rate,but also improves the network load balancing by 22.7% and increases the throughput by 8.2%.…”
