in this paper, we investigate a decision support system (dss) for the resolution of real-life vehicle routing and scheduling problem (vrsp). scheduling the deliveries from a regional distribution centre (rdc) to large stores of a major fmcg retailer includes every possible vehicle routing complexity. usual constraints that are seen are: size of the vehicle and the length of the driving day, loa...

Task graph scheduling is a multi-objective optimization and NP-hard problem. In this paper a new algorithm on homogeneous multiprocessors systems is proposed. Basically, scheduling algorithms are targeted to balance the two parameters of time and energy consumption. These two parameters are up to a certain limit in contrast with each other and improvement of one causes reduction in the othe...

In project scheduling, many problems can arise when resource fluctuations are beyond acceptable limits. To overcome this, mathematical techniques have been developed for leveling resources. However, these produce a hard and inflexible approach in scheduling projects. The authors propose a simple resource leveling approach that can be used in scheduling projects with multi-mode execution activit...
