The paper considers the problem of scheduling n jobs on a single machine to minimize the number of tardy jobs (or late jobs). Each job has a release date, a processing time and a due date. The general case with non-equal release dates and diierent due dates is considered. Various mixed-integer linear programming formulations are presented and discussed. A new polynomial solvable case is also in...

Obesity is an emerging disease worldwide. Changes in living habits, especially with increased consumption of high-calorie foods and decreased levels of physical activity, lead to an energy imbalance that brings weight gain. Overweight and obesity are major risk factors for several chronic diseases (including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancer), reduce quality of life, and are associa...

This paper presents and evaluates an order release decision rule in a job-shop, based on the input-output control concept. The order release mechanism is part of a global decision-making scheme that includes four main decisions: accept/reject orders, define the order’s due date, release the accepted jobs and dispatch it on the shop floor. This paper also presents an evaluation of two acceptance...

In most empirical research on software evolution, analysis of the data is performed with respect to the release sequence number, rather than the release date. This distinction is important when the intervals between release dates vary widely, as is generally the case with open-source software. A widely cited paper on the maintainability of Linux was published in this journal in 2002. The paper ...
