Abstract
Antenna Positioning Problem (app) is an NP-Complete Optimisation Problem which arises in the telecommunication field. It consists in identifying the infrastructures required to establish a wireless network. Several objectives must be considered when tackling app and multi-objective evolutionary algorithms have been successfully applied to solve it. However, they required a deep analysis, and a correct parameterisation in order to obtain high quality solutions. In this work, a parallel hyperheuristic island-based model approach is presented. Several hyperheuristic scoring strategies are tested. Results show the advantages of the parallel hyperheuristic. On one hand, the testing of each sequential configuration can be avoided. On the other hand, it speeds up the attainment of high-quality solutions even when compared with the best sequential approaches.
