Abstract

We present a novel approach for reducing the computational time of Combinatorial Optimization Problems (COPs). The approach is inspired by the use of Artificial Vaccines, a concept that is classified as being part of a set of algorithms called Artificial Immune Systems (AIS). Artificial Vaccines are able to reduce the computational time and quality of the solution of any existing COP solving algorithm by reducing the size of the problem set. To demonstrate the usefulness of this proposal we provide comparative results obtained with a Genetic Algorithm (GA) solving the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) for three large instances of 423, 737 and 1583 cities.
