Strategies to model scheduling decisions to plan the soft drink production process
(2012-06-13)
In this paper we present a mixed integer model that integrates lot sizing and lot scheduling decisions for the production planning of a soft drink company. The main contribution of the paper is to present a model that ...
Simulation of computational grids scheduling politics
(2010-10-18)
Computational grids allow users to share resources of distributed machines, even if those machines belong to different corporations. The scheduling of applications must be performed aiming at performance goals, and focusing ...
Simulation Optimization for Operating Room Scheduling
(2015)
This paper presents a case study on operating room scheduling in a small hospital in Chile. Patient flow was represented using a discrete-event simulation model that considered the randomness associated with the primary ...
Reactive Scheduling of DAG Applications on Heterogeneous and Dynamic Distributed Computing Systems
(Revista Computación y Sistemas; Vol. 13 No. 2, 2009-10-15)
Abstract. Emerging computational platforms enable a set of geographically distributed computers with different capabilities
to be linked together and used in a coordinated fashion to solve a parallel application at the ...
A Novel Network-based Continuous-Time Representation for Process Scheduling: Part II. General Framework
(Elsevier, 2009-12)
In the first part of this series of paperswe presented a newnetwork-based continuous-time representation for the short-term scheduling of batch processes, which overcomes numerous shortcomings of existing approaches. In ...
A novel approach for distributed application scheduling based on prediction of communication events
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2010)
The evolution of commodity computing lead to the possibility of efficient usage of interconnected machines to solve computationally-intensive tasks, which were previously solvable only by using expensive supercomputers. ...
Scheduling research contributions to Smart manufacturing
(Elsevier Ltd, 2018-01)
The incorporation of high technology to production systems is bringing the advent of Industry 4.0. One of the mainstays of Industry 4.0 is the application of Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS). CPPSs will redefine ...
A priori reformulations for joint rolling-horizon scheduling of materials processing and lot-sizing problem
(2013-06-10)
In many production processes, a key material is prepared and then transformed into different final products. The lot sizing decisions concern not only the production of final products, but also that of material preparation ...
