“…Most authors have used different well known heuristics (branch exchange [2,3,21], branch and bound [1,4], simulated annealing [5]), other heuristic rules or meta-heuristics [7][8][9][11][12][13]15,17,22,23,25,27,28] or multi-agent technologies [20]. On the other hand, some authors have developed methods based on evolutionary computation techniques [6,14,16,18,19,24,26,29,30]. An important drawback of these methods is the fact that they solve the reconfiguration problems as single objective problems.…”
