This paper describes a simulation optimization algorithm for the Permutation Flow shop
Problem with Stochastic processing Times (PFSPST). The proposed algorithm combines
Monte Carlo simulation with an Iterated Local ...
[EN] In the team orienteering problem, a fixed fleet of vehicles departs from an origin depot towards a destination, and each vehicle has to visit nodes along its route in order to collect rewards. Typically, the maximum ...

This paper presents the results of an innovative use of the Delphi technique to obtain quantitative information for the evaluation of the Official Adjustment Rules for Damage Assessment in agricultural insurance. An efficient ...
In the last decades many statistical tests based on the least squares solution have been proposed for multiple outlier detection. All of them suffer, however, from deficiencies that make them inefficient in their practical ...

[EN] In reliability, sometimes some failures are not observed at the exact moment of the occurrence. In that case it can be more convenient to approximate them by a time interval. In this study, we have used a generalized ...
[EN] The B4 topology is an interesting alternative to the conventional B6 inverter due to its reduced number of parts and lower cost. Although it has been widely used in the past, especially in low-power motor drive ...

[EN] This paper presents a methodology to obtain a guaranteed-reliability controller for constrained linear sys-
tems, which switch between different modes according to a Markov chain (Markov jump linear systems).

Urban water supply is a high priority service and so looped networks are extensively used in order to considerably reduce the number of consumers affected by a failure. Looped networks may be redundant in connectivity and ...

Robust λ-contractive sets have been proposed in previous literature for uncertain polytopic linear systems. It is well known that, if initial state is inside such sets, it is guaranteed to converge to the origin. This ...

[ES] Ethernet Industrial es cada vez más utilizada para aplicaciones de automatización, tanto en industrias de manufactura como de procesos. Además de los requerimientos de ancho de banda y manejo de tráfico en tiempo real, ...
The importance of renewable energy increases in activities relating to new forms of managing and operating electrical power: especially wind power. Wind generation is increasing its share in the electricity generation ...
