[EN] Breast cancer is currently the leading cause of death due to cancer in women, after lung cancer. For its diagnosis and staging, detection of metastatic tissue in axillary lymph nodes is occasionally used, since lymphatic ...
[EN] In recent years, a large number of heuristics have been proposed for the minimization of the total or mean flowtime/completion time of the well-known permutation flowshop scheduling problem. Although some literature ...
[EN] The enormous amount of containers handled at ports hampers the efficiency of terminal operations. The optimization of crane movements is crucial for speeding up the loading and unloading of vessels. To this end, the ...
[EN] Bag-of-Tasks (BoT) workflows are widespread in many big data analysis fields. However, there are very few cloud resource provisioning and scheduling algorithms tailored for BoT workflows. Furthermore, existing algorithms ...
In this work a genetic algorithm is presented for the unrelated parallel machine scheduling problem in which machine and job sequence dependent setup times are considered. The proposed genetic algorithm includes a fast ...
[EN] The permutation flowshop problem is a classic machine scheduling problem where n jobs must be processed on a set of m machines disposed in series and where each job must visit all machines in the same order. Many ...
The distributed permutation flowshop problem has been recently proposed as a generalization of the regular
flowshop setting where more than one factory is available to process jobs. Distributed manufacturing
is a common ...
Matrices with distances between pairs of locations are essential for solving vehicle routing problems like the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP), Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) and others. This work deals with ...
[EN] Total profit is one of the most important factors to be considered from the perspective of resource providers. In this paper, an original MapReduce workflow scheduling with deadline and data locality is proposed to ...
[EN] The resource constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) is widely studied in the literature and has a host of applications in practice. As a variant of the RCPSP, the resource availability cost problem (RACP), ...
In the no-idle flowshop, machines cannot be idle after finishing one job and before starting the next one.
Therefore, start times of jobs must be delayed to guarantee this constraint. In practice machines show
this ...
Lot-streaming flow shops have important applications in different industries including textile, plastic,
chemical, semiconductor and many others. This paper considers an n-job m-machine lot-streaming
flow shop scheduling ...

[EN] The mixed no-wait flowshop problem with both wait and no-wait constraints has many potential real-life applications. The problem can be regarded as a generalization of the traditional permutation flowshop and the ...
[EN] This paper addresses a sequence dependent setup times no-wait flowshop with learning and forgetting effects to minimize total flowtime. This problem is NP-hard and has never been considered before. A position-based ...
