In this paper a new branch-price-and-cut method for a maritime inventory routing problem for one of the world's largest producers of liquefied natural gas (L...

This paper presents the design, implementation, and the first experimental results of an architecture for autonomous demand-side load management (ADSM) syste...

A minimum equicut of an edge-weighted graph is a partition of the nodes of the graph into two sets of equal size such that the sum of the weights of ed...

In this article we study a network design problem that arises in the exploitation of wind energy. We formulate this problem as a mixed integer programming ...

This paper presents a framework to determine optimal maintenance planning of a fleet of complex and independent systems. They are made up of several major co...

The inventory routing problem (IRP) and the production routing problem (PRP) are two difficult problems arising in the planning of integrated supply chains...

Interior-point methods in semi-definite programming (SDP) require the solution of a sequence of linear systems which are used to derive the search directions...

Finding <i>p</i> prototypes by minimizing the sum of the squared distances from a set of points to its closest prototype is a well-studied problem in cluste...

OPAL is a general-purpose system for modeling and solving algorithm optimization problems. OPAL takes an algorithm as input, and as output it suggests para...

Given Cloud Computing geographical distribution on multiple regions, the location of data centers, servers and software components and the way information is...

Implementations of the Simplex method differ only in very specific aspects such as the pivot rule. Similarly, most relaxation methods for mixed-integer ...

Wavelets have been successfully used for nonparametric function estimation, but a major challenge in density and hazard estimation is that the function must ...

Although stochastic programming is probably the most effective frameworks for handling decision problems that involve uncertain variables, it is always a cos...

The problem of coordinating a fleet of vehicles so that all demand points on a territory are serviced and that the workload is most evenly distributed among ...

Our main interest is the prediction of future events for recurrent event processes. We intend to build a Bayesian model, based on sound philosophical princip...

Facility layout is a well-known operations research problem that arises in numerous areas of applications. The multi-row facility layout problem is concerne...

The analytic center cutting plane method and its proximal variant are well known techniques for solving convex programming problems. We propose two seq...

A game theoretical model featuring a manufacturer and two dealers is proposed to investigate the effects of downstream horizontal integration on network perf...

Using a heuristic optimization module based upon Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS), the system AutoGraphiX's main feature is to find extremal or near extre...

The focus of the paper is on adequate service and content distribution with Dedicated Channels having a Small number of Viewers (DCSV for short) in a multi-c...
