In a facility with front room and back room operations, it is useful to switch workers between the rooms in order to cope with changing customer demand. Assuming stochastic custom...
Abstract. AND/OR search spaces have recently been introduced as a unifying paradigm for advanced algorithmic schemes for graphical models. The main virtue of this representation is...
This paper describes how to solve very large TravelingSalesman Problems heuristically by the parallelization of self-organizing maps on cluster architectures. The used way of para...

We propose a novel algorithmic framework to solve an integrated planning and scheduling problem in supply chain management. This problem involves the integration of an inventory m...
