What Is Better: 4 Tiers or 5 Tiers in the Container Stacking Problem?

چکیده
Nowadays, there exists a large competition between maritime ports, so that the improvement of customer service became a serious important problem within port container terminals which led to several sub-problems (Vis and Koster 2003). One of these sub-problems is the Container Stacking Problem. A container stack is a type of temporary store where containers await further transport by truck, train or vessel. The main efficiency problem for an individual stack is to ensure easy access to containers at the expected time of transfer. Since stacks are 'last-in, first-out', and the cranes used to relocate containers within the stack are heavily used, the stacks must be maintained in a state that minimizes ondemand relocations. In this paper, we study and compare the configuration of yard-bays with 4 tiers and yard-bays with 5 tiers.

The Container Stacking Problem: an Artificial Intelligence Planning-based Approach
Large container ports around the world are major hubs in the global cargo transport system. A container stack is a type of temporary store where containers await further transport by truck, train or vessel. The main efficiency problem for an individual stack is to ensure easy access to containers at the expected time of transfer. In this paper, we propose a planning tool for finding the best co...
متن کاملScalable peer finding on the Internet
We consider the problem of finding nearby application peers over the Internet. We define a new peer-finding scheme (called Tiers) that scales to large application peer groups. Tierscreates a hierarchy of the peers, which allows an efficient and scalable solution to this problem. The scheme can be implemented entirely in the application-layer and does not require the deployment of either any add...

متن کاملThe New Embedded System Design Methodology For Improving Design Process Performance
Time-to-market pressure and productivity gap force vendors and researchers to improve embedded system design methodology. Current used design method, Register Transfer Level (RTL), is no longer be adequate to comply with embedded system design necessity. It needs a new methodology for facing the lack of RTL. In this paper, a new methodology of hardware embedded system modeling process is design...
متن کامل3D-Via Driven Partitioning for 3D VLSI Integrated Circuits
A 3D circuit is the stacking of regular 2D circuits. The advances on the fabrication and packaging technologies allowed interconnecting stacked 2D circuits by using 3D vias. However, 3D-vias can impose significant obstacles and constraints to the 3D placement problem. Most of the existing placement algorithms completely ignore this fact, but they do optimize the number of vias using a min-cut p...
