Un sistema grid conforma una red dinámica de recursos de cómputo heterogéneos que trabajan conjuntamente formando un entorno único y uniforme. Un sistema grid puede abarcar diferentes dominios administrativos, y pued...

La demanda actual de grandes capacidades de cómputo ha comportado un importante progreso de los sistemas paralelos. Asimismo, diferentes estudios constatan la baja utilización de los recursos de cómputo disponibles en...

Abstract The flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSP) is considered as an important problem in the modern manufacturing system. It is known to be an NP-hard problem. Most of the algorithms used in solving FJSP problem...

This study tackles the processes scheduling problem of multiprocessor and describing two algorithms from many algorithms for an array of dependent processes, which are represented by, direct a cj'clic Graph on different ...

Models representing batch plants, especially flowshop facilities where all the products require the same processing sequence, have received much attention in the last decades. In particular, plant design and production s...

Abstract Recent researches show that there are some anomalies, which are not satisfied with common sense, appearing in some special permutation flow shop scheduling problems (PFSPs). These anomalies can be divided into t...

Timetable management is a controversial but core administrative activity at tertiary learning institutions, normally saturated with timetabling clashes, resource wastage, and communication breakdowns. This study describe...

Due to the impact of crude oil prices on refinery revenues, the petroleum industry has switched to processing lowcost crude oils. They are blended with high-quality crude oils to feed the crude distillation units (CDUs) ...

Abstract The connection between production scheduling and transportation scheduling is getting closer in smart manufacturing system, and both of those problems are summarized as NP-hard problems. However, only a few stud...

Abstract The meta-heuristic algorithm with local search is an excellent choice for the job-shop scheduling problem (JSP). However, due to the unique nature of the JSP, local search may generate infeasible neighbourhood s...

Multiproduct pipelines permit to transport large volumes of a wide range of refined petroleum products from major supply sources to distribution centers near market areas. Batches of refined products and grades are pumpe...

INTRODUCTION: The uneven spatiotemporal distribution of electric vehicle (EV) charging demand and the limitations of traditional methods in adapting to dynamic correlations pose significant challenges to charging infrast...

To address the inadequate optimization of performance indicators, such as end-to-end delay, jitter, and bandwidth utilization, as well as the poor scalability in the joint routing and scheduling of Time-Sensitive Network...

The Non-Permutation Flow-Shop scheduling problem (NPFS) is a generalization of the traditional Permutation Flow-Shop scheduling problem (PFS) that allows changes in the job order on different machines. The flexibility th...

 INTRODUCTION: The frequent occurrence of extreme natural disasters poses severe threats to power grids, necessitating robust emergency communication. Low Earth Orbit (LEO) broadband satellite networks offer a promising...

Pipeline networks are the dominant mode of conveying a wide variety of oil refined products from refineries to distribution terminals. Pipeline infrastructure usually comprises trunk lines serving high-volume, long-haul ...

Industrial planning has experienced notable advancements since its beginning by the middle of the 20th century. The importance of its application within the several industries where it is used has been demonstrated, rega...

Identical parallel machines problems (Pm) involve task assignments to the system's resources (a machine bank in parallel). The basic model consists of m machines and n tasks. The tasks are assigned according to the avail...

Over the past few years, a continually increasing number of research efforts have investigated the application of evolutionary computation techniques for the solution of scheduling problems. Scheduling problems can pose...

In scheduling, a set of machines in parallel is a setting that is important, from both the theoretical and practical points of view. From the theoretical viewpoint, it is a generalization of the single machine scheduling...

A variety of optimization problems in fields such as production operations in manufacturing industry, parallel and distributed systems, logistics and traffic can be summarized within the general class of scheduling probl...

Allocation of the components (tasks) of a parallel program to processors in a multiprocessor or a multicomputer system take full advantage of the computational power provided by the system. Evolutionary approaches has b...

This paper presents an extension of the Latency Time (LT) scheduling algorithm for assigning tasks with arbitrary execution times on a multiprocessor with shared memory. The Extended Latency Time (ELT) algorithm adds to ...
