Parallel Variable Neighborhood Search
José A. Moreno Pérez, Pierre Hansen et Nenad Mladenović
Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) is a recent and effective metaheuristic for solving combinatorial and global optimization problems. It is capable of escaping from the local optima by systematic changes of the neighborhood structures within the search. In this paper several parallelization strategies for VNS have been proposed and compared on the large instances of the p-median problem.
