It is not unusual that the documentation of business process models is ambiguous, incomplete or non-existent. One reason for this is the lack of a standard for building BPMN models despite the diffusion of good modeling ...

Search is a universal problem-solving method in Artificial Intelligence. Specifically, Heuristic Search algorithms, such as A*, use a heuristic function to guide the search process. The heuristic function allows algorithms ...

The flowshop scheduling problem with blocking in-process is addressed in this paper. In this environment, there are no buffers between successive machines: therefore intermediate queues of jobs waiting in the system for ...

This document describes a feasible way of implementing hyper-heuristics into self-driving cars for decision-making. Hyper-heuristics techniques are used as an automated procedure for selecting or generating among a set of ...

An approach for solving reactive power planning problems is presented, which is based on binary search techniques and the use of a special heuristic to obtain a discrete solution. Two versions were developed, one to run ...

This paper deals with the permutation flow shop scheduling problem with separated and sequence-independent machine setup times. A heuristic method with the objective of minimizing the total time to complete the schedule ...

A high performance heuristic solution method is proposed able to locate near to optimal sites composed by a given number of cells (raster structure). These sites must be compact and maximize levels of the sites intrinsic ...
