This paper describes the development of a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model for the standard N-job, M-machine flowshop sequencing problem. Based on an earlier all-integer model developed ...

A two-person, noncooperative game in which the players move in sequence can be modeled as a bilevel optimization problem. In this paper, we examine the case where each player tries to maximize the ...

Abstract: This research paper revisited the certain equivalent mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) developed by a previous study and provided a new method for solving the problem of a stochastic ...

Abstract: Diffusion processes in semiconductor fabrication facilities (Fabs) refer to the series of processes from wafer cleaning processes to furnace processes. Most furnace tools are batch tools, ...

This paper presents a novel approach to the joint optimization of job scheduling and data allocation in grid computing environments. We formulate this joint optimization problem as a mixed integer ...

The objective of the 3D-SCALO problem is to assign the given components to optimal mounting surfaces and position them at the best locations, while satisfying the requirements for (1) heat dissipation ...

ok i have been doing this problem for days now and just can't get it going.. tried about 5 different ways but i dont know. Please help. Best answer gets the points. Radmore Memorial Hospital has a ...
