Maritime inventory routing: recent trends and future directions

Recent Progress Using Matheuristics for Strategic Maritime Inventory Routing

This paper presents an extensive computational study of simple, but prominent matheuristics (i.e., heuristics that rely on mathematical programming models) to find high quality ship schedules and inventory policies for a class of maritime inventory routing problems. Our computational experiments are performed on a set of the publicly available MIRPLib instances. This class of inventory routing ...

Philosophical Issues in Ecology: Recent Trends and Future Directions

Philosophy of ecology has been slow to become established as an area of philosophical interest, but it is now receiving considerable attention. This area holds great promise for the advancement of both ecology and the philosophy of science. Insights from the philosophy of science can advance ecology in a number of ways. For example, philosophy can assist with the development of improved models ...

Recent Progress and Future Directions

We review the foundations of Einstein’s general theory of relativity, discuss recent progress in the tests of relativistic gravity, and present motivations for new generation of high-accuracy gravitational experiments. We discuss the advances in our understanding of fundamental physics anticipated in the near future and evaluate discovery potential of the recently proposed gravitational experim...

MEMS - Recent Developments, Future Directions

This report deals with the field of micro-electromechanical systems, or MEMS. MEMS encompass the process-based technologies used to fabricate tiny integrated devices and/or systems that integrate functionalities from different physical domains into one device. Such devices are fabricated using a wide range of technologies, having in common the ability to create structures with microand even nan...
