Job shop scheduling biobjetivo mediante enfriamiento simulado y enfoque de Pareto.

El problema del scheduling es uno de los problemas más ampliamente tratados en la literatura; sin embargo, es un problema complejo NP hard. Cuando, además, se involucra más de un objetivo, este problema se convierte en uno de los más complejos en el campo de la investigación de operaciones. Se presenta entonces un modelo biobjetivo para el job shop scheduling que incluye el makespan y el tiempo de flujo medio. Para resolver el modelo se ha utilizado una propuesta que incluye el uso del meta heurístico Recocido Simulado (SA) y el enfoque de Pareto. Este modelo es evaluado en tres problemas presentados en la literatura de tamaños 6×6, 10×5 y 10×10. Los resultados del modelo se comparan con otros meta-heurísticos y se encuentra que este modelo presenta buenos resultados en los tres problemas evaluados

NEW HEURISTICS FOR MINIMISING TOTAL COMPLETION TIME AND THE NUMBER OF TARDY JOBS CRITERIA ON A SINGLE MACHINE WITH RELEASE TIME

<p>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This paper considers the bi-criteria scheduling problem of simultaneously minimising the total completion time and the number of tardy jobs with release dates on a single machine. Since the problem had been classified as NP-Hard, two heuristics (HR9 and HR10) were proposed for solving this problem. Performance evaluations of the proposed heuristics and selected solution methods (HR7 and BB) from the literature were carried out on 1,100 randomly generated problems ranging from 3 to 500 jobs. Experiment results show that HR7 outperformed HR10 when the number of jobs (n) is less than 30, while HR10 outperformed HR7 for n≥ 30.</p><p>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie artikel word die bi-kriteria-skeduleringsprobleem bestudeer waar die totale voltooiingstyd en die aantal take wat laat is op ‘n enkele masjien geminimiseer moet word. Verskeie heuristieke word voorgestel en getoets om sodoende die beste benadering te identifiseer.</p&gt

Development of an OLAP Based Fuzzy Logic System for Supporting Put Away Decision

In today‘s rapidly changing and globally volatile world, manufacturers pay strong efforts on conducting lean production, outsourcing their components, and management on the complex supply chain. Warehouse management plays a vital role to be a successful player in the any kinds of industry which put-away process is a key activity that brings significant influence and challenges to warehouse performance. In this dynamic operating environment, minimizing the operation mistakes and providing accurate real time inventory information to stakeholder become the basic requirements to be an order qualifier. An OLAP based intelligent system called Fuzzy Storage Assignment System (FSAS) is proposed to increase availability of decision support data and convert the human knowledge into system for tackling the storage location assignment problem (SLAP). To validate the feasibility of this proposed system, a prototype will be worked out for a third party logistics company

Interactive ant colony optimization (iACO) for early lifecycle software design

Finding good designs in the early stages of the software development lifecycle is a demanding multi-objective problem that is crucial to success. Previously, both interactive and non-interactive techniques based on evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have been successfully applied to assist the designer. However, recently ant colony optimization was shown to outperform EAs at optimising quantitative measures of software designs with a limited computational budget. In this paper, we propose a novel interactive ACO (iACO) approach, in which the search is steered jointly by an adaptive model that combines subjective and objective measures. Results show that iACO is speedy, responsive and effective in enabling interactive, dynamic multi-objective search. Indeed, study participants rate the iACO search experience as compelling. Moreover, inspection of the learned model facilitates understanding of factors affecting users' judgements, such as the interplay between a design's elegance and the interdependencies between its components. © 2014 Springer Science+Business Media New York

Proactive-reactive, robust scheduling and capacity planning of deconstruction projects under uncertainty

A project planning and decision support model is developed and applied to identify and reduce risk and uncertainty in deconstruction project planning. It allows calculating building inventories based on sensor information and construction standards and it computes robust project plans for different scenarios with multiple modes, constrained renewable resources and locations. A reactive and flexible planning element is proposed in the case of schedule infeasibility during project execution

Proceedings of the 1st Doctoral Consortium at the European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (DC-ECAI 2020)

1st Doctoral Consortium at the European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (DC-ECAI 2020), 29-30 August, 2020 Santiago de Compostela, SpainThe DC-ECAI 2020 provides a unique opportunity for PhD students, who are close to finishing their doctorate research, to interact with experienced researchers in the field. Senior members of the community are assigned as mentors for each group of students based on the student’s research or similarity of research interests. The DC-ECAI 2020, which is held virtually this year, allows students from all over the world to present their research and discuss their ongoing research and career plans with their mentor, to do networking with other participants, and to receive training and mentoring about career planning and career option
