Future paths for integer programming and links to artificial intelligence (Q1821034): Difference between revisions

Integer programming has benefited from many innovations in models and methods. Some of the promising directions for elaborating these innovations in the future may be viewed from a framework that links the perspectives of artificial intelligence and operations research. To demonstrate this, four key areas are examined: (1) controlled randomization, (2) learning strategies, (3) induced decomposition and (4) tabu search. Each of these is shown to have characteristics that appear usefully relevant to developments on the horizon.
