    Abstract: Multi-depot VRP with Time Windows involves servicing a set of customers within earliest and latest time windows with vehicles from multiple depots. The objectives of the problem are, first, minimize the total number of trucks and , second, minimize the total distance traveled. The constraint is the capacity of the trucks and servicing the customers within the required time widow. A distributed computer architecture using heuristic algorithms for solving the problem is explained. Comparison and computational experience with traditional heuristic algorithms is presented.
