A free-slack-based genetic algorithm for the robotic cell problem with controllable processing times
( Springer New York LLC , 2016 , Book chapter)We present a novel genetic algorithm for the Robotic Cell Problem with controllable processing times. This challenging problem arises in an automated production cell that consists of m consecutive machines as well as a ... -
A preemptive bound for the Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem
( Springer US , 2014 , Article)The Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem is one of the most intensively investigated scheduling problems. It requires scheduling a set of interrelated activities, while considering precedence relationships, and ... -
A PSO approach for robust aircraft routing
( IEEE Computer Society , 2016 , Conference Paper)To mitigate the impact of unpredictable disruptions, airlines are seeking to proactively design schedules that incorporate some robustness features. In this paper, we propose a novel simulation-optimization approach using ... -
A simulation-optimisation approach for supply chain network design under supply and demand uncertainties
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2017 , Article)We investigate a three-echelon stochastic supply chain network design problem. The problem requires selecting suppliers, determining warehouses locations and sizing, as well as the material flows. The objective is to ... -
An optimization-based heuristic for the machine reassignment problem
( Springer New York LLC , 2016 , Article)We address the machine reassignment problem proposed in the context of the ROADEF/EURO challenge 2012 in partnership with Google. The problem consists in reassigning a set of processes to a set of multiple-resource machines ... -
Exact solution methods for a generalized assignment problem with location/allocation considerations
( INFORMS Inst.for Operations Res.and the Management Sciences , 2016 , Article)We investigate modeling approaches and exact solution methods for a generalized assignment problem with location/allocation (GAPLA) considerations. In contrast with classical generalized assignment problems, each knapsack ... -
Lifted polynomial size formulations for the homogeneous and heterogeneous vehicle routing problems
( Elsevier B.V. , 2017 , Article)We propose compact formulations for the symmetric and asymmetric capacitated vehicle routing problems. These formulations are obtained by lifting, using the Reformulation-Linearization Technique, a novel polynomial size ... -
Optimal design of a district cooling grid: structure, technology integration, and operation
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2019 , Article)The concept of a district cooling grid that allows the integration of several cooling technologies with different availability and supply patterns is introduced. An integrated multi-period optimization model for a district ... -
Optimization Models For Multiple Resource Planning
( Qatar University Press , 2021 , Poster)Multiple resource planning is a very crucial undertaking for most organizations. Apart from reducing operational complexity, multiple resource planning facilitates efficient allocation of resources, which reduces costs by ... -
Optimization-based very large-scale neighborhood search for generalized assignment problems with location/allocation considerations
( INFORMS Inst.for Operations Res.and the Management Sciences , 2016 , Article)This paper introduces a novel class of generalized assignment problems with location/allocation considerations that arises in several applications including retail shelf space allocation. We consider a set of items where ... -
Parcel delivery by vehicle and drone
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2019 , Article)We investigate a single-vehicle parcel delivery problem in which customers may be served either by the vehicle or by a portable companion drone launched from the vehicle. The problem may be viewed as a Traveling Salesman ... -
Solving a large-scale integrated fleet assignment and crew pairing problem
( Springer New York LLC , 2017 , Article)Airline schedule planning problems are typically decomposed into smaller problems, which are solved in a sequential manner, due to the complexity of the overall problems. This results in suboptimal solutions as well as ...
