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...
Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are stochastic search methods that mimic the natural biological evolution and/or the social behavior of species. Such algorithms have been developed ...
In Service Oriented Architecture, each application is ofgned as a set of abstract services, which defines its functions. A concrete service(s) is selected at runtime for tract ser...
Spatial based gene selection for division of chromosomes used by crossover operators is proposed for three-dimensional problems. This spatial selection is shown to preserve more g...
In this paper, we propose a manpower allocation model with time windows which is of practical interest to serviceman scheduling operations. Specifically, this problem originates f...
