When the processing times of jobs are controllable, selected processing times affect both the manufacturing cost and the scheduling performance.A well-known example for such a cas...
This paper deals with the generation of minimal risk paths for the road transportation of hazardous materials between an origin–destination pair of a given regional area. The ma...
As a promising solution to tackle the network heterogeneity in multicasting, layered multicast protocols such as Receiver-driven layered multicast (RLM) and Layered video multicas...
A new problem encoding is devised for the minimum span frequency assignment problem in wireless communications networks which is compact and general. Using the new encoding, which...
This paper presents several Arcs-States models that can be applied to numerous vehicle routing problems, one of which is the well-known vehicle routing problem with capacities and...
We propose a hybrid method designed to solve a problem of dispatching and conflict free routing of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) in a flexible manufacturing system (FMS). Thi...
Column generation has proven to be efficient in solving the linear programming relaxation of large scale instances ofthemultiple-depotvehicleschedulingproblem(MDVSP).Howeverdif...
