Design of assembly line is done in order to more coordinate a collection of some consecutive work stations for the aim of obtaining more productivity from the work stations and workers. The stations are arranged in a way to have a continuous and constant material flow. In this paper a multi-objective formulation for assembly line balancing is introduced. As a solution approach a two-step approa...

The paper starts with a brief review of methods of model-tting using empirical transforms. We then present a method for estimating the parameters in indexed stochastic models via a least-squares approach based on empirical transforms. Asymptotic approximations are derived for the mean squared error and for the distribution of the resulting estimator. The explicit expression for the mean squared...

The design and implementation of reversible wavelet/subband transforms and their application to reversible embedded image compression are studied. Reversible embedded image coding provides a natural way for building uniied lossy/lossless image compression systems, and reversible transforms are a key component in such systems. A lifting-based method is examined as a means for constructing revers...

The dispatching problem for object oriented languages is the problem of determining the most specialized method to invoke for calls at run-time. This can be a critical component of execution performance. A number of recent results, including [Muthukrishnan and Müller SODA’96, Ferragina and Muthukrishnan ESA’96, Alstrup et al. FOCS’98], have studied this problem and in particular provided variou...
