Chemical supply chain networks provide large opportunities for cost reductions through the redesign of the flow of material from producer to customer. In this paper we present a m...
This paper studies a new generalization of the regular permutation flowshop scheduling problem (PFSP) referred to as the distributed permutation flowshop scheduling problem or DPF...
A well studied special case of bin packing is the 3-partition problem, where n items of size > 1 4 have to be packed in a minimum number of bins of capacity one. The famous Kar...
Abstract--A delay-constrained scheduling problem for pointto-point communication is considered: a packet of B bits must be transmitted by a hard deadline of T slots over a timevary...
In this paper we introduce a novel method to address minimization of static and dynamic MRFs. Our approach is based on principles from linear programming and, in particular, on pr...
