This paper presents a systems analysis perspective that extends the traditional process design framework to green process design, green energy and industrial ecology leading to su...
This paper discusses the specifics of planning in multiagent environments. It presents the formal framework MAPL (“maple”) for describing multiagent planning domains. MAPL al...
The crew planning problem has been successfully solved on a loosely connected network of workstations (NOW) using advanced computational techniques and efficient communication pat...
In this paper, a multi-period assignment problem is studied that arises as part of a weekly planning problem at mail processing and distribution centers. These facilities contain ...
