چکیده

The multi-constrained path (MCP) selection problem occurs when the quality of services (QoS) are supported for point-to-point connections in the distributed multimedia applications deployed on the Internet. This NP-complete problem is concerned how to determine a feasible path between two end-points, so that a set of QoS path constraints can be satisfied simultaneously. Based on the branch-and-bound technology and tabu-searching strategy, an optimal algorithm and a heuristic algorithm are proposed in this paper. The experimental results show that our heuristic algorithm not only has very good performance on several different network topologies, but also is very efficient method for solving large-scale MCP problem.

Optimizing a bi-objective preemptive multi-mode resource constrained project scheduling problem: NSGA-II and MOICA algorithms

The aim of a multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem (MRCPSP) is to assign resource(s) with the restricted capacity to an execution mode of activities by considering relationship constraints, to achieve pre-determined objective(s). These goals vary with managers or decision makers of any organization who should determine suitable objective(s) considering organization strategi...

Overview of Constraint-Based Path Selection Algorithms for QoS Routing

Constraint-based path selection is an invaluable component of a full-ßedged quality of service (QoS) architecture. It aims at identifying a path that satisÞes a set of constraints (e.g., bounded delay, packet loss rate, etc.). Unfortunately, multi-constrained path selection problems are NPcomplete, and therefore often considered computationally intractable. This has led to the proposal of many ...

A Bi-objective Pre-emption Multi-mode Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem with due Dates in the Activities

In this paper, a novel mathematical model for a preemption multi-mode multi-objective resource-constrained project scheduling problem with distinct due dates and positive and negative cash flows is presented. Although optimization of bi-objective problems with due dates is an essential feature of real projects, little effort has been made in studying the P-MMRCPSP while due dates are included i...

Detecting communities of workforces for the multi-skill resource-constrained project scheduling problem: A dandelion solution approach

This paper proposes a new mixed-integer model for the multi-skill resource-constrained project scheduling problem (MSRCPSP). The interactions between workers are represented as undirected networks. Therefore, for each required skill, an undirected network is formed which shows the relations of human resources. In this paper, community detection in networks is used to find the most compatible wo...
