This paper deals with the resource constrained project scheduling problem, which consists of scheduling a set of activities with minimal duration that are su...

This paper presents a structured approach to model logical constraints (expressions that contain propositions and logical operators) in a linear program usin...

A new algorithm for the optimal stope design problem is proposed. It is based on a previous methodology developed by Bai et al. (2013a) where a cylindrical ...

The dust suppression of hauling roads in open-pit mines is done by periodically spraying water from a water truck. The objective of this article is to presen...

This article describes the problem in which the edges of a network represent customers, and a quantity of material is delivered to them so that each one achi...

In this paper, we present a mixed integer programming model for solving the long-term planning problem of an underground mine. This model establishes the seq...

The purpose of this paper is to study the periodic arc routing problem when the arcs of a network behave as customers, and sufficient material is delivered s...

In this paper, we propose a generic model based on linear programming that allows building an optimal production plan for a work shift in an open-pit mine. T...

Cet article propose une nouvelle architecture générique pour l'implantation d'un système intelligent de contrôle en temps réel basé sur la simulation dans de...

This paper presents an efficient approach for realistic modelling of internal transport systems. The weakness of the former methods in tracking the traffic w...

This paper presents a new generic architecture for the implementation of an intelligent simulation-based real-time control in large-scale discrete-events sys...

Cet article vise l'analyse du type de modélisation des problèmes tests utilisés par les chercheurs pour valider leurs stratégies de pilotage des systèmes d...

In this paper, we consider scheduling problems on a single machine in a sequence dependent setup environment. We introduce for these problems several integer...

We consider a crew scheduling problem with preferential bidding in the airline industry. We propose a new methodology based on a graph coloring model and a ...

In this paper, a solution approach based on the column generation technique is pre- sented for solving a time-indexed formulation of the total weighted tard...

This paper introduces the first exact approach for constructing aircrew member personalized monthly work schedules when a preferential bidding system (PBS) ...

This paper presents an enumeration algorithm based on dynamic programming for optimally solving the fleet management problem in underground mines. This probl...

The fleet management problem discussed in this paper consists in assigning the best routes to a set of vehicles in an underground mine haulage network. The h...

This paper presents two solution approaches for taking into account the displacement mode (forward or in reverse) of vehicles during the solution of the shor...

This paper presents a new branching strategy that is applied on the cost of a subproblem during the solution of a large-scale linear program by a column gene...
