-- The purpose of this paper is to describe the implementation and testing of the tabu cycle method and two variants of the conditional probability method. These methods were origi...
There is an age old debate in curling about whether it is better to be down one point with last shot, or ahead by one point without. The objective of this paper is to apply sensit...
Optimal flow control problems of multiple-server (M/M/n) queueing systems are studied. Due to enhanced flexibility of the decision making, intuitively, we expect that grouping tog...
We study the problem of planning the production of new and recovering defective items of the same product manufactured on the same facility. Items of the product are produced in b...

A parametric form of tabu-search is proposed for solving mixed integer programming (MIP) problems that creates and solves a series of linear programming (LP) problems embodying br...
In this paper, we study a bidding problem which can be modeled as a set packing problem. A simulated annealing heuristic with three local moves, including an embedded branch-and-b...
