Download or read book Convergence in Crossover Service written by Jianwei Yin and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-03-24 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Convergence in crossover service explores the crossover phenomenon, crossover services and the convergence issues that arise in typical crossover scenarios. Unlike traditional service integration, crossover services need to realize multidimensional convergence of pattern, design, run-time environment, quality, and value. This book creatively proposes a framework of crossover service pattern modeling, simulation, evaluation, and convergence to achieve quantitative calculation and analysis of crossover service patterns. Also, this book provides a requirements convergence modeling and analysis framework to support crossover services requirements analysis and design. In the meantime, authors develop a new crossover service network architecture to achieve efficient governance of large-scale crossover services and construct an evaluation and optimization system for service quality and value. In the case of the rural Taobao scenario, the theory and engineering methods presented in this book can provide better solutions for crossover convergence. This book is of great interest to researchers and academics wishing to see what crossover services are, how they are implemented, and what benefits they bring.

Download or read book Solving a Bus Driver Scheduling Problem A Genetic Algorithm Approach UUM Press written by Razamin Ramli and published by UUM Press. This book was released on 2013-01-16 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many transport companies face problems in regulating their transport services due to various challenges and issues. These problems affect the quality of the services provided especially in a university campus environment, where students heavily depend on the university transport services for their daily commuting.What are the problems faced by the management of the campus transport company? What are the issues raised by the drivers operating the on-campus buses? Hence, in assisting the management of the transport company the authors have identified the inefficiency of their bus driver scheduling system as one of the main problems, which needed to be tackled. For that reason, the authors developed an efficient bus driver scheduling model based on the Genetic Algorithm (GA) approach. The GA model is able to provide some resolutions and insight in relation to these inquiries: What are the constraints being considered in this bus driver scheduling problem? - How were the drivers’ break times being distributed in this GA approach? - How was the time taken to generate an efficient schedule? - For more information please visit: http://uumpress.uum.edu.my/
