We present algorithms for the two layer straightline crossing
minimization problem that are able to compute exact optima. Our
computational results lead us to the conclusion that there is no
need for heuristics if one layer is fixed, even though the problem
is NP-hard, and that for the general problem with two variable layers,
true optima can be computed for sparse instances in which the smaller
layer contains up to 15 nodes. For bigger instances, the iterated
barycenter method turns out to be the method of choice among several
popular heuristics whose performance we could assess by comparing the
results to optimum solutions.
