Applied Metaheuristics in International Trading: A Systematic Review

Abstract:

In specific cases, computational techniques that support the operations of international trade can be a problem that must be evaluated to achieve the maximum benefit for companies. The application of metaheuristics as techniques to solve situations that may arise in operations, such as transportation, logistics, market forecasts, customs valuation, or trade agreements. This work aims to conduct a systematic review of the literature applying the PRISMA method for reviewing and quality assurance to determine the state of literature regarding the use of metaheuristic algorithms in commercial exchange. Four scientific databases were explored to collect and generate evidence to describe a qualitative analysis among the primary studies. In addition, textometric analysis was carried out using the Iramuteq software to identify groups of words enriching the analysis. It is concluded that the use of metaheuristics has been applied in several areas of commercial exchange such as shipping, fleet, and trajectory management; and these are part of a vast field in development.
