This article studies the problem of modifying the action ordering of a plan in order to optimise the plan according to various criteria. One of these criteria is to make a plan le...
Most discrete-event simulation models have stochastic elements that mimic the probabilistic nature of the system under consideration. A close match between the input model and the...
The idea of cyclic scheduling is commonly utilized to address short-term scheduling problems for multiproduct batch plants under the assumption of relatively stable operations and...
Starting from a graphical data model (a subset of the OMT object model), a skeleton of formal specification can be generated and completed to express several constraints and provi...
We define the base polytope B(P, g) of a partially ordered set P and a supermodular function g on the ideals ofP as the convex hull of the incidence vectors of all linear extensio...
