Abstract
This paper introduces the implementation and utilization of domain-specific information in a decision support system (DSS) for logistics distribution networks. This information is used to steer an evolutionary algorithm’s search for promising configurations of the network. Results show that utilizing this information improves the performance of the DSS.
