Abstract

One of the motivations of hyper-heuristic research is to investigate the development of adaptive decision support systems that can be applied to a range of different problems and different problem instances. One possible approach is to dynamically adjust the preferences of a set of simple lowlevel heuristics (or neighbourhood operators) during the search. Hyper-heuristics have been used to address a variety of search problems, including educational timetabling, scheduling [10], and packing and layout optimisation. In this research, we intend to further investigate an adaptation mechanism in the context of vehicle routing problems (VRP).
