When the processing times of jobs are controllable, selected processing times affect both the manufacturing cost and the scheduling performance.A well-known example for such a cas...
In this paper, we propose two new support vector approaches for ordinal regression, which optimize multiple thresholds to define parallel discriminant hyperplanes for the ordinal ...
We present in this article a new approximation algorithm for scheduling a set of n independent rigid (meaning requiring a fixed number of processors) jobs on hierarchical parallel ...
This paper shows that a novel hybrid algorithm, Breeding Swarms, performs equal to, or better than, Genetic Algorithms and Particle Swarm Optimizers when training recurrent neural...
The problem of finding the broadcast scheme with minimum power consumption in a wireless ad-hoc network is NP-hard. This work presents a new hybrid algorithm to solve this problem...
