In this paper a novel clustering algorithm is proposed, namely Variational Multilevel Mesh Clustering (VMLC). The algorithm incorporates the advantages of both hierarchical and va...
When a supply chain is established supply chain management (SCM) needs supporting tools for the tasks of operative planning, scheduling, and coordination. These tasks have to be p...
We consider the problem of multi-task reinforcement learning where the learner is provided with a set of tasks, for which only a small number of samples can be generated for any g...
This paper discusses the impact of the hierarchical master-worker paradigm on performance of an application program, which solves an optimization problem by a parallel branch and ...
This paper presents a column generation heuristic for the general vehicle routing problem (GVRP), a combined load acceptance and rich vehicle routing problem incorporating various ...
