(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
A District Cooling System (DCS) is an interconnected system encompassing a centralized chiller plant, a Thermal Energy Storage (TES) unit, a piping network, and clusters of consumers' buildings. The main function of a DCS ...
An exact algorithm for the single machine problem with unavailability periods
(
Inderscience Publishers
, 2015 , Article)
We investigate the single machine scheduling problem with job release dates and due dates, and multiple planned unavailability time periods. This problem arises in the context of machine scheduling with planned preventive ...
