Research Type Experimental In addition to complexity analysis and proving the approximation bound of CSPP, we empirically compare it with the method proposed in [Gyorfiet al., 2010] over various workspaces with different numbers of subpaths. The results indicate that CSPP is more efficient than the other existing methods both in terms of cost of the solution and running time.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 CSPP
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any explicit statement about releasing source code or a link to a code repository.
Open Datasets No In our experiments, we use different sets of workspaces including 3 environments with 20 subpaths, 3 environments with 50 subpaths and 3 environments with 80 subpaths. The length and the location of the subpaths are chosen randomly.
Dataset Splits No The paper describes environments with different numbers of subpaths for experiments but does not provide specific training, validation, or test dataset splits.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific hardware details (e.g., CPU, GPU models, or memory specifications) used for running the experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions comparing with a 'GA-based method proposed in [Gyorfiet al., 2010]' and uses algorithms like Kruskal, Prim, Fleury, and Micali and Vazirani, but it does not specify any software names with version numbers (e.g., 'Python 3.8, CPLEX 12.4') that would be required for reproducibility.
Experiment Setup Yes Parameter setting for the operation rates of GA are chosen to be 0.5 for crossover, 0.25 for inversion, 0.25 for rotation, 0.5 for mutation and 0.5 for subpath reversal.
