Abstract

We present a Variable Neighborhood Search approach for a network design problem occurring in real world when the bandwidth of an existing network shall be enhanced. Using two different neighborhood structures we show that a carefully designed combination of a metaheuristic and an exact method based on integer linear programming is able to improve solution quality compared to using heuristic methods only.
