Group technology (GT) is a useful way to increase productivity with high quality in cellular manufacturing systems (CMSs), in which cell formation (CF) is a key step in the GT phil...
Clustering methods can be either data-driven or need-driven. Data-driven methods intend to discover the true structure of the underlying data while need-driven methods aims at org...
Simulation methods are extensively used in modeling complex scheduling problems. However, traditional layout of simulation models can become complicated when they are used to find...
Background: External stimulations of cells by hormones, cytokines or growth factors activate signal transduction pathways that subsequently induce a re-arrangement of cellular gen...
In the present paper we explain the basic ideas of Robust Perron Cluster Analysis (PCCA+) and exemplify the different application areas of this new and powerful method. Recently, ...
