4 uses for optimization in software

Optimization is often highlighted in supply chain contexts – routing, scheduling, inventory, and other tangible, visible problems. This post explores a few use cases in computing and software.

Haversine vs. OSRM: Distance and cost experiments on a vehicle routing problem (VRP)

How do you test if you should use map data over Haversine for a vehicle routing problem? Let’s use batch experiments with Nextmv to find out!
