A reactive method for real time dynamic vehicle routing problem

TLDR
This work presents a solution to RTDVRP: a concurrent, agent-based reactive vehicle routing system (RVRS) and the implementation of the RVRS, which combines a generic, concurrent infrastructure and a powerful incremental local optimization heuristic.
Abstract
The real time dynamic vehicle routing problem (RT-DVRP) is an extension of VRPTW, in which the problem parameters change in real time. We present a solution to RTDVRP: a concurrent, agent-based reactive vehicle routing system (RVRS) and the implementation of the RVRS, which combines a generic, concurrent infrastructure and a powerful incremental local optimization heuristic.

DVRP: a hard dynamic combinatorial optimisation problem tackled by an evolutionary hyper-heuristic

TL;DR: The experimental results have shown that, due to the dynamic nature of the hyper-heuristic, the proposed approach is able to adapt to dynamic scenarios more naturally than low-level heuristics, and can obtain high-quality solutions when compared with other (meta) heuristic-based methods.

Online rescheduling of multiple picking agents for warehouse management

TL;DR: Extensive statistical experiments indicate that the proposed methodologies are competitive with existing online schedulers and show that load-balancing algorithms, such as OR1, yield the best results on the average and that OR2 is effective in reducing the picking time when dynamism is low to moderate.

Intelligent Agents: Theory and Practice

TL;DR: Agent theory is concerned with the question of what an agent is, and the use of mathematical formalisms for representing and reasoning about the properties of agents as discussed by the authors ; agent architectures can be thought of as software engineering models of agents; and agent languages are software systems for programming and experimenting with agents.
