dc.description | Vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW) is a combinatorial optimization problem that is a non-deterministic polynomial-time hard problem (NP-hard). Many algorithms have been proposed to address this problem, yet none of these succeeded to achieve good results across all instances. Most of these algorithms struggled of escaping from local optima. Moreover, the complex structure of these algorithms complicates the task of enhancing their performance. Consequently, the need to either improve the existing algorithms or utilize a new algorithm is still necessary. One of the recent algorithms is harmony search algorithm (HSA), which managed to solve many combinatorial optimization problems. However, as far as we are concerned, it has not been applied to solve VRPTW. HSA is characterized as being simple and flexible, so it motivates scholars to conduct several modifications to improve its performance. More importantly, HSA provides a possibility to attain balance between exploitation and exploration via tuning the HSA improvisation operators (memory consideration, pitch adjustment and random selection). Therefore, this thesis aims to answer the question on "how to design an effective heuristic that can tune the HSA improvisation operators in order to enhance the performance of HSA?. Thus | - |
