| Abstract | This study is focused on solving the capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP) by applying a novel membrane algorithm based on ant colony optimization (MA_ACO). The effect of non-determinism on the performance of the membrane algorithm is also studied in this work. In this approximate approach model, a membrane system is considered to be a non-deterministic distributed parallel framework, and ant colony optimization (ACO) is used as a sub-algorithm of elementary membranes. With the purpose of maintaining balance between the convergence rate and the population diversity, MA_ACO supports sub-algorithms for elementary membranes based on two types of ACO. The elementary membranes send their best solutions to the skin membrane. In the next step, the best one in the skin membrane is sent back to every inner membrane with a fixed probability. All of the elementary membranes have thus a chance to receive the best result and make changes to the current search direction. Thirty benchmark problems of CVRP are utilized to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed membrane algorithm. Experimental results show that compared with other algorithms proposed in the previous literature, our algorithm is very competitive. The new best solutions for seven instances are also listed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
