a comprehensive and integrated study of any supply chain (sc) environment is a vital requirement that can create various advantages for the sc owners. this consideration causes productive managing of the sc through its whole wide components from upstream suppliers to downstream retailers and customers.  on this issue, despite many valuable studies reported in the current literature, considerabl...

In this paper, we present a multi-objective optimization approach for indoor wireless network planning subject to constraints for exposure minimization, coverage maximization and power consumption minimization. We consider heterogeneous networks consisting of WiFi Access Points (APs) and Long Term Evolution (LTE) femtocells. We propose a design framework based on Multi-objective Biogeography-ba...

In the present research, a multi-objective model is proposed, which considers equity among the citizens in addition to the cost criterion. Then, the model will be solved using Reservation Level Tchebycheff Procedure (RLTP), which is one of the interactive multi-objective decision-making techniques. Subsequently, the obtained results will be compared with those of the single-objective models to ...

This paper describes multi-objective evolutionary optimization of process planning in flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs). FMS can be described as an integrated manufacturing system consisting of machines, computers, robots, and automated guided vehicles (AGVs). While FMSs give great advantages through the flexibility, FMSs pose complex problems on multi-objective process planning. An evoluti...

Non-Interconnected Zones (NIZ) are a challenge for countries in terms of providing energy service coverage that is both economically and environmentally sustainable. Although some microgrid planning strategies allow scaled-down solutions these areas, solely electrical approach does not facilitate the integration range vectors. Considering above, this study presents multi-objective to optimally ...

The growing complexity of air traffic flows around major airports requires improvements in decision-making stratégies if these flows are to be processed safely, comfortably, and efficiently in the near future. While support tools currently typically focus on minimization of traffic delays, multiple criteria need to be taken into account such as high fuel efficiency, low noise production, and mo...
