    • A free-slack-based genetic algorithm for the robotic cell problem with controllable processing times 

      Al-Salem, Mohammed; Haouari, Mohamed; Kharbeche, Mohamed; Khallouli, Wael ( 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 ...

    • An assignment-based lower bound for a class of two-machine flow shop problems 

      Haouari, Mohamed; Kharbeche, Mohamed (2013 , Article)
      We present an assignment-based lower bound that is valid for a wide class of two-machine flow shop problems with a regular additive performance criterion. We provide empirical evidence that this new bound consistently ...

    • An optimization-based heuristic for the machine reassignment problem 

      Mrad, Mehdi; Gharbi, Anis; Haouari, Mohamed; Kharbeche , Mohamed ( 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 ...

    • Flight Scheduling in the Airspace 

      Msakni, Mohamed Kais; Kharbeche, Mohamed; Al-Salem, Mohammed; Hammuda, Abdelmagid ( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2016 , Conference Paper)
      This paper addresses an important problem in the aircraft traffic management caused by the rapid growth of air traffic. The air route traffic control center has to deal with different plans of airlines in which they specify ...

    • Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Qatar Electricity Demand and Load Forecasting: Preparedness of Distribution Networks for Emerging Situations 

      El-Hafez, Omar Jouma; ElMekkawy, Tarek Y.; Kharbeche, Mohamed; Massoud, Ahmed ( MDPI , 2022 , Article)
      The COVID-19 pandemic has brought several global challenges, one of which is meeting the electricity demand. Millions of people are confined to their homes, in each of which a reliable electricity supply is needed, to ...

    • In-depth Analysis of Pedestrian Safety in the State of Qatar 

      Kharbeche, Mohamed; Al Allaf, Hana; Al-Khalifa, Khalifa; Tarlochan, Faris ( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2016 , Conference Paper)
      Pedestrian safety is of a serious concern as it includes children and the aged population. From the Global status report on road safety in 2015 by World Health Organization (WHO), it can be seen that pedestrian fatalities ...

    • Optimization Models For Multiple Resource Planning 

      Z. Al-Dossari, Norah Mohammed; Haouari, Mohamed; Kharbeche, Mohamed ( 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 ...

    • Throughput optimization for the Robotic Cell Problem with Controllable Processing Times 

      Al-Salem, Mohammed; Kharbeche, Mohamed ( EDP Sciences , 2017 , Article)
      In this paper, we present a MIP-based heuristic and an effective genetic algorithm for the Robotic Cell Problem with Controllable Processing Times (RCPCPT). This problem arises in modern automated manufacturing systems and ...
