arXiv:2611.13940v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The paper presents an Industry Process for Meta-heuristic Development (IPMD) schema, a systematic methodology for applying meta- and hyper-heuristic applications to optimization problems. In this context, we present a case study of Balancing Non-dominated Tournament Genetic Programming (BNTGP) applied to solve two NP-hard multi-objective optimization problems: routing (Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows) and scheduling (Multi-Skill Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem). The BNTGP method is based on a metaheuristic design. Its genetic programming-based representation makes BNTGP a hyper-heuristic, as it enables the exploration of a search space of heuristics for solving problems in general. The resulting heuristic can then be applied across a set of problem instances.
