This chapter examines the use of emergent computing to optimize solutions to logistics problems. The chapter initially explores the use of agents and evolutionary algorithms to optimize postal distribution networks. The structure of the agent communi...

Real-time construction of aircraft landing schedules using an evolutionary algorithm (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Urquhart, N. (2006, July). Real-time construction of aircraft landing schedules using an evolutionary algorithm. Presented at Proceedings of the 8th annual conference on Genetic and evolutionary computation - GECCO '06, Seattle, Washington, USA

This poster investigates the use of Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) to optimise solutions to the Dynamic Aircraft Landing Problem (DALP). The approach adopted here uses an EA to evolve improvements to the solution so as to move towards an optimum solut...
