Advances in networking and transmission of digital multimedia data will bring soon huge catalogues of music to users. Accessing these catalogues raises a problem for users and con...
Semiconductor fabs often offer manufacturing service of multiple priorities in terms of cycle time-based X-factor targets (XFTs) and fab production must be planned accordingly. Th...
The criterion of total weighted completion time occurs as a sub-problem of combinatorial optimization problems in such diverse areas as scheduling, container loading and storage a...
