[EN] In today's information society, there is a growing need to access data communication services ubiquitously, with mobility and increasingly higher data rates. This society's demand has motivated the development of 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 ...

[EN] This article presents an algorithm and a structured methodology to address the issue of the optimisation of resources when clearing snow from stretches of the manoeuvring area of an airport. This overall issue is ...

[EN] The emergency department (ED) is the initial medical care service for patients with health problems that put at risk the function of their organs, mental health or their lives, and therefore require immediate medical ...

[EN] Task sharing helps to reduce imbalances in mixed-model lines, derived from blocking and starving stations. On the other hand, intelligent sequencing also gives us the possibility to face these waiting times and ...

[ES] Este Trabajo de Fin de Máster aborda el proceso del departamento de Supply Chain de Ardo Benimodo, una empresa dedicada al procesado, congelación y comercialización de vegetales y otros productos congelados. Este ...

[EN] Industrial production scheduling problems are challenges that researchers have been trying to solve for decades. Many practical scheduling problems such as the hybrid flowshop are ATP-hard. As a result, researchers ...

[EN] Allocating service capacities in cloud computing is based on the assumption that they are unlimited and can be used at any time. However, available service capacities change with workload and cannot satisfy users' ...
