Abstract. For solving combinatorial optimisation problems, exact methods accurately exploit the structure of the problem but are tractable only up to a certain size; approximation ...
The challenge in shift scheduling lies in the construction of a set of work shifts, which are subject to specific regulations, in order to cover fluctuating staff demands. This pro...
This paper presents a multiagent-system for integrating ALICE: a real-life, distributed, large-scale particle physics experiment of the LHC project at CERN. The work is concerned ...
In a facility with front room and back room operations, it is useful to switch workers between the rooms in order to cope with changing customer demand. Assuming stochastic custome...
In recent years, planning and scheduling research has paid increasing attention to problems that involve resource oversubscription, where cumulative demand for resources outstrips...
