Searches that include both feasible and infeasible solutions have proved to be efficient algorithms for solving some scheduling problems. Researchers conjecture that these algorit...
The new market forces have affected the operation of distribution centers (DCs) extremely. The DCs demand an increased productivity and a low cost in their daily operation. This pa...
PSO is a population-based technique for optimization, which simulates the social behavior of the fish schooling or bird flocking. Two significant weaknesses of this method are: fir...
Temporal reasoning is an important task in many areas of computer science including planning, scheduling, temporal databases and instruction optimisation for compilers. Given a kno...
