A GA Model Development for Decision Making Under Reverse Logistics

  Managing products’ end-of-life and recovery of used products is gaining significant importance during last years. Therefore, managing the reverse flow of products can be an important potential for winning consumers in future competitive markets. In this context, establishing reverse logistics networks is becoming a main problem in reverse supply chains. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is utilized to s...

An Anthropocentric Tool for Decision Making Support

After describing the underlying cognitive principles, we wil l introduce the decision representation space and its related notations. We wil l then show the difficulties linked to the search of an optimal representation of the expert strategies set and how the heuristics used by the algorithm studied avoid these NP-complete problems. Finally, the current results and our work perspectives are st...

Multiagent Based Simulation Tool for Transportation and Logistics Decision Support

A transportation and logistics domain belongs to complex problems domains because there are many geographically distributed companies who may enter or leave the system at any time. Analysis of the great number of publications reveals that although traditional mathematical modelling and simulation techniques still dominate, new approaches start to appear. Agent technologies and multiagent system...

A Decision Support Tool to Locate Shelters in Emergency Logistics

Post-cardiac surgery mechanical support: a tool for decision making.

The report by Hernandez et al1 in the present issue of Circulation is timely and important. Compiled from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons voluntary database, it comprises an analysis of the largest series of patients treated with mechanical support to date. The authors have reviewed outcomes of 5735 patients who had a ventricular assist device (VAD) placed for low cardiac output after having u...
