Scheduling Algorithms for the Broadcast Delivery of Multimedia Products

چکیده
Free bandwidth in television channels which is available in the form of the Vertical Blanking Interval (VBI) is currently being utilized to broadcast programme information, HTML pages and closed captioning. This bandwidth can be used to broadcast data and also products like video clips, software, multimedia packages, etc. thereby satisfying several customers with a single transmission at very high speeds. We present several heuristic algorithms that attempt to maximize the revenue earned by an E-commerce merchant providing such a service. These algorithms are tailored to deal with different customer service policies.

Scheduling Algorithms for the Broadcast Delivery of Digital Products
ÐWe provide scheduling algorithms that attempt to maximize the profits of a broadcast-based electronic delivery service for digital products purchased, for example, at e-commerce sites on the World Wide Web. Examples of such products include multimedia objects such as CDs and DVDs. Other examples include software and, with increasing popularity, electronic books as well. We consider two separat...
متن کاملThe Preemptive Just-in-time Scheduling Problem in a Flow Shop Scheduling System
Flow shop scheduling problem has a wide application in the manufacturing and has attracted much attention in academic fields. From other point, on time delivery of products and services is a major necessity of companies’ todays; early and tardy delivery times will result additional cost such as holding or penalty costs. In this paper, just-in-time (JIT) flow shop scheduling problem with preemp...
متن کاملParticle swarm optimization for minimizing total earliness/tardiness costs of two-stage assembly flowshop scheduling problem in a batched delivery system
This paper considers a two-stage assembly flow shop scheduling problem. When all parts of each product are completed in the first stage, they are assembled into a final product on an assembly machine in the second stage. In order to reduce the delivery cost, completed products can be held until completion of some other products to be delivered in a same batch. The proposed problem addresses sch...
متن کاملCoordinating Order Acceptance and Batch Delivery for an Integrated Supply Chain Scheduling
This paper develops Order Acceptance for an Integrated Production-Distribution Problem in which Batch Delivery is implemented. The aim of this problem is to coordinate: (1) rejecting some of the orders (2) production scheduling of the accepted orders and (3) batch delivery to maximize Total Net Profit. A Mixed Integer Programming is proposed for the problem. In addition, a hybrid meta-heuristic...
متن کاملA multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) for hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with assembly operation
Scheduling for a two-stage production system is one of the most common problems in production management. In this production system, a number of products are produced and each product is assembled from a set of parts. The parts are produced in the first stage that is a fabrication stage and then they are assembled in the second stage that usually is an assembly stage. In this article, the first...
