Because it is an NP-hard problem, a mathematical model is formulated for the problem, allowing the construction of test instances that are used to validate the evolutionary metaheuristics developed / O presente trabalho apresenta estrat?gias metaheur?sticas baseadas no framework dos Algoritmos Evolutivos (Gen?ticos e Mem?ticos) com a adi??o da t?cnica Vocabulary Building para a resolu??o do Problema de Otimiza??o do Emprego de Unidades M?veis de Pistoneio (UMPs). Por se tratar de um problema NP-?rduo, uma modelagem matem?tica ? formulada para o problema, permitindo a constru??o de inst?ncias testes que s?o utilizadas para validar as metaheur?sticas evolutivas desenvolvidas
