The contribution presents a heuristic for the three-dimensional strip packing problem (3D-SPP) with rectangular pieces (boxes). The considered 3D-SPP can be formulated as follows:...
The bin packing problem (BPP) is a real-world problem that arises in different industrial applications related to minimization of space or time. The aim of this research is to au...
The single machine scheduling problem with sum of completion times criterion (SS) can be solved easily by the Shortest Processing Time (SPT) rule. In the case of significant uncert...
This paper proposes a fast AND/OR tree search algorithm using a multiple-paths concurrent search method. Conventional heuristic AND/OR tree search algorithms expand nodes in only ...
In the last 15 years periodic timetable problems have found much interest in the combinatorial optimization community. We will focus on the optimisation task to minimise a weighted...
