Home health care, i.e. visiting and nursing patients in their homes, is a growing sector in the medical service business. From a staff rostering point of view, the problem is to f...
The repair kit problem is that of finding the optimal set of parts in the kit of a repairman. An important aspect of this problem, in many real-life situations, is that several jo...
An alternate formulation of the classical vehicle routing problem with stochastic demands (VRPSD) is considered. We propose a new heuristic method to solve the problem. The algori...
An optimization problem that naturally arises in the study of swarm robotics is the Freeze-Tag Problem (FTP) of how to awaken a set of "asleep" robots, by having an awak...
