Abstract

This paper introduces a multi-start search approach to dynamic traveling salesman problem (DTSP). Our experimental problem is stochastic and dynamic. Our search algorithm is dynamic because it explicitly incorporates the interaction of change and search over time. The result of our experiment demonstrates the effectiveness and efficiency of the algorithm. When we use a matrix to construct the solution attractor from the set of local optima generated by the multi-start search, the attractor-based search can provide even better result.
