Before describing the contents of this issue, let me say that we are very pleased to have established relationships with the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University and the Southwest Search and Matching Group. These relationships allow us to have ongoing agendas as they will meet regularly throughout the years to come. The conferences we have with the Tepper School of Business a...

Aggregate Functions in DLV

Disjunctive Logic Programming (DLP) is a very expressive formalism: it allows for expressing every property of finite structures that is decidable in the complexity class . Despite this high expressiveness, there are some simple properties, often arising in real-world applications, which cannot be encoded in a simple and natural manner. Especially properties that require the use of arithmetic o...

Uncertain aggregate production planning

Based on uncertainty theory, multiproduct aggregate production planning model is presented, where the market demand, production cost, subcontracting cost, etc., are all characterized as uncertain variables. The objective is to maximize the belief degree of obtaining the profit more than the predetermined profit over the whole planning horizon. When these uncertain variables are linear, the obje...

An Integrated Aggregate Production Planning Model with Two-Phase Production System and Maintenance Costs

Aggregate production planning (APP) is one of the most important issues carried out in manufacturing environments which seeks efficient planning, scheduling and coordination of all production activities that optimizes the company's objectives. In this paper, we develop a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model for an integrated aggregate production planning system with closed loop supply ...
