We study the problem of optimal preemptive scheduling with respect to a general target function. Given n jobs with associated weights and m ≤ n uniformly related machines, one a...
Abstract. This paper investigates the relationship between the dimension theory of partial orders and the problem of scheduling precedenceconstrained jobs on a single machine to mi...
We present a connectionist architecture that supports almost instantaneous deductive and abductive reasoning. The deduction algorithm responds in few steps for single rule queries...
We consider a supply chain design problem where the decision maker needs to decide the number and locations of the distribution centers (DCs). Customers face random demand, and ea...
: We consider in this paper a two-machine flowshop scheduling problem in which the first machine processes jobs individually while the second machine processes jobs in batches. The...
