This paper describes a decision support system based on a sophisticated mixed integer linear programming model, EUGENE, developed to help the regional decis...

We describe a method of channel assignment for cellular telephone systems (in which a limited number of rearrangements are allowed) that gives good performa...

A decomposition method for global optimization, when some of the problem variables are integer, is presented. Potential solutions for a specific problem ar...

We study the problem of minimizing the peak load in single-command cycle shared storage policies. The peak load is the maximum of the daily material handlin...

Diverses classes de modèles permettant la génération de solutions pour des problèmes d'implantations d'usines sont décrits. La description de chacune des c...

We consider a model for communications network design that includes the optimal location of switches (of which there are several types) and the design of th...

In this paper a new approach for the facility layout problem is presented. This approach combines genetic algorithms with linear programming to design the ...

We consider the problem of minimizing, over a fixed horizon, the peak load in single-command cycle dedicated storage policies. The daily load is the expecte...

In this paper we tackle the problem of jointly finding the optimal location of the ATM switches, the topology of the backbone and local access networks, the...

This paper reviews genetic algorithms and evolution systems and describes implementation of an evolution system to solve the QAP. Extensive search to select...

Après une présentation générale du problème de Design d'Implantation d'Usine, un survol des différentes méthodes de solution est proposé. Ces méthodes peuve...

Cylindrical aromatic compounds - fullerenes and hydrocarbons - are about to become highly interesting objects of chemical research. A tubulene (tubular ben...

We present a method for designing spine layouts. A spine layout is a layout in which a main aisle is used for the movements between the work cells located o...

Layout planning is an appropriate area in which to apply optimization models. A method is proposed here for evaluating general layouts (block layouts) when ...

La génération d'implantation est un domaine privilégié pour l'application des modèles d'optimisation. Il est proposé, ici, une méthode d'évaluation d'implan...
