Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers algorithm portfolios, multi-method schemes that harness optimization algorithms into a joint framework to solve optimization problems. It is expected to be a primary reference point for researchers and doctoral students in relevant domains that seek a quick exposure to the field. The presentation focuses primarily on the applicability of the methods and the non-expert reader will find this book useful for starting designing and implementing algorithm portfolios. The book familiarizes the reader with algorithm portfolios through current advances, applications, and open problems. Fundamental issues in building effective and efficient algorithm portfolios such as selection of constituent algorithms, allocation of computational resources, interaction between algorithms and parallelism vs. sequential implementations are discussed. Several new applications are analyzed and insights on the underlying algorithmic designs are provided. Future directions, new challenges, and open problems in the design of algorithm portfolios and applications are explored to further motivate research in this field.

Download or read book The Lot Scheduling Problem in the Hierarchy of Decision Models written by Robert Sheldon and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The economic lot scheduling problem (ELSP) surfaces from competition among products for a scarce resource, usually machine time. When scheduling production of batches in this environment, two issues must be resolved: the size of batches and the start times for production of each batch. Standard approaches to the ELSP focus on scheduling multiple products on a single machine. This thesis addresses three important issues that put the scheduling problem in the context of its physical setting and range of parameters: idle time, the zero switch rule, and stochastic input to a bottleneck machine. In most scheduling heuristics, the reason for idle time is to balance cyclic production patterns. Idle time is also optimal in solutions to problems with high setup costs. We show that the condition for inducing idle time, given zero setup costs, is when one product has dominant holding costs and the remaining products have low machine utilization. A common policy in scheduling is to start production only after the inventory reaches zero. This policy is called the zero switch rule (ZSR) and is regarded as a good scheduling policy. We show that the condition when ZSR is not optimal is when the ZSR solution yields lumpy production patterns for a product with dominant holding costs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the age of Big Data emerges, it becomes necessary to take the five dimensions of Big Data- volume, variety, velocity, volatility, and veracity- and focus these dimensions towards one critical emphasis - value. The Encyclopedia of Business Analytics and Optimization confronts the challenges of information retrieval in the age of Big Data by exploring recent advances in the areas of knowledge management, data visualization, interdisciplinary communication, and others. Through its critical approach and practical application, this book will be a must-have reference for any professional, leader, analyst, or manager interested in making the most of the knowledge resources at their disposal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information Control Problems in Manufacturing 2006 contains the Proceedings of the 12th IFAC Symposium on Information Control Problems in Manufacturing (INCOM'2006). This symposium took place in Saint Etienne, France, on May 17-19 2006. INCOM is a tri-annual event of symposia series organized by IFAC and it is promoted by the IFAC Technical Committee on Manufacturing Plant Control. The purpose of the symposium INCOM'2006 was to offer a forum to present the state-of-the-art in international research and development work, with special emphasis on the applications of optimisation methods, automation and IT technologies in the control of manufacturing plants and the entire supply chain within the enterprise. The symposium stressed the scientific challenges and issues, covering the whole product and processes life cycle, from the design through the manufacturing and maintenance, to the distribution and service. INCOM'2006 Technical Program also included a special event on Innovative Engineering Techniques in Healthcare Delivery. The application of engineering and IT methods in medicine is a rapidly growing field with many opportunities for innovation. The Proceedings are composed of 3 volumes: Volume 1 - Information Systems, Control & Interoperability Volume 2 - Industrial Engineering Volume 3 - Operational Research * 3-volume set, containing 362 carefully reviewed and selected papers * presenting the state-of-the-art in international research and development in Information Control problems in Manufacturing
