Abstract

A parallel simulated annealing algorithm to solve the vehicle routing problem with time windows is considered. The objective is to investigate how the frequency of co-operation of parallel simulated annealing processes influences the quality of solutions to the problem. The quality of a solution is measured by its proximity to the optimum solution.
