Berth Assignment Scheduling for Shipment by Branch and Bound Method with Estimating-Cost Search

Two Stage Flow Shop Scheduling Problem Including Transportation Time and Weightage of Jobs with Branch and Bound Method

Robust Scheduling for Berth Allocation and Quay Crane Assignment Problem

Decision makers must face the dynamism and uncertainty of real-world environments when they need to solve the scheduling problems. Different incidences or breakdowns, for example, initial data could change or some resources could become unavailable, may eventually cause the infeasibility of the obtained schedule. To overcome this issue, a robust model and a proactive approach are presented for ...

A Branch-and-Bound Method for the Optimal Scheduling

This paper presents a new approach to the scheduling problem in high level synthesis. In this approach, iterative rescheduling processes are performed in a branch-andbound manner, starting with the as soon as possible scheduling result, so as to find the scheduling result of the lowest hardware cost under the given timing constraint. At each iteration step, only the candidate nodes are selected...

A modified branch and bound algorithm for a vague flow-shop scheduling problem

Uncertainty plays a significant role in modeling and optimization of real world systems. Among uncertain approaches, fuzziness describes impreciseness while for ambiguity another definition is required. Vagueness is a probabilistic model of uncertainty being helpful to include ambiguity into modeling different processes especially in industrial systems. In this paper, a vague set based on dista...

A Method for Solving Intuitionistic Fuzzy Assignment Problem Using Branch and Bound Method

In this paper, we investigate an assignment problem in which cost coefficients are triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. In conventional assignment problem, cost is always certain. This paper develops an approach to solve an intuitionistic fuzzy assignment problem where cost is not deterministic numbers but imprecise ones. Here, the elements of the costs (profits) matrix of the assignment pr...
