Trade-off analysis, one of the key elements of transportation asset management (TAM), helps decision makers to not only quantify how different resource allocations affect system performance but also investigate the trade-off relationships between cost and performance measures and between different performance measures. In the fast-growing field of TAM, researchers are beginning to quantify the ...

Most econometric models of intrahousehold behavior assume that household decisionmaking is efficient, i.e., utility realizations lie on the Pareto frontier. In this paper we investigate this claim by adding a number of participation constraints to the household allocation problem. Short-run constraints ensure that each spouse obtains a utility level at least equal to what they would realize und...

This paper presents the methodology used for finding the optimal set of foot trajectories for a quadruped robot using manual tuning and multiobjective genetic algorithm optimization that provide energy efficient and fast locomotion. Manual trajectory tuning is used to obtain initial set of trajectories for the multiobjective GA optimization. The multiobjective optimization evaluates the energy ...

This paper proposes a novel multi-objective model for an unrelated parallel machine scheduling problem considering inherent uncertainty in processing times and due dates. The problem is characterized by non-zero ready times, sequence and machine-dependent setup times, and secondary resource constraints for jobs. Each job can be processed only if its required machine and secondary resource (if a...

In this talk, an automated negotiation mechanism is presented to solve multiple criterion single machine scheduling problems. We consider a single machine that is utilized by two agents that have own jobs and private objectives. The objective of the first agent consists in minimizing the total weighted completion time of its jobs whereas the objective of the second agent is related to minimizin...
