Whereas multicast transmission in one-to-many communications allows the operator to drastically save network resources, it also makes the routing of the traffic flows more complex ...
Maritime terminals of pure transhipment are emerging logistic realities in long-distance containerized trade. Here, complex activities of resource allocation and scheduling should...
Simulation modeling has the capability to represent complex real-world systems in details and therefore it is suitable to develop simulation models for generating detailed operati...
Combinations of evolutionary based approaches with local search have provided very good results for a variety of scheduling problems. This paper describes the development of such a...
We consider machine scheduling on unrelated parallel machines with the objective to minimize the schedule makespan. We assume that, in addition to its machine dependence, the proce...
