Philips Employing the Bid Optimization Strategic System (BOSS) Developed by the MS Department About Philips The Royal Dutch Philips Electronics Ltd. (Philips) is one of the world’s largest electronic companies. As a multinational company operating on a global scale, its work units and business partners form a very complicated transportation network stretching over the world. This network involves shipping, air and land routes.

A variable neighbourhood search (VNS) heuristic for the traveling salesman problem with pickup and delivery (TSPPD) executed in a last-in-first-out (LIFO) fashion has been ably developed by Hu QIN, a PhD student studying in the MS Department. The VNS heuristic involves several search operators based on the tree data structure. Experiments show that this heuristic is superior to the current best heuristics for this problem in terms of both solution quality and computing time.

The MS Department Cooperates with Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) to Analyze the Problem of Non-Emergency Ambulance Transfer Service (NEATS)
