We introduce a homomorphic batching technique that can be used to pack multiple ciphertext messages into one ciphertext for parallel processing. One is able to use the method to batch or unbatch messages homomorphically to further improve the flexibility of encrypted domain evaluations. In particular, we show various approaches to implement Number Theoretic Transform (NTT) homomorphically in FF...

In the U.S.A., 70 percent of the manufactured cement and 43 percent of aggregates is used in Ready-Mixed Concrete (RMC) plants. So a material inventory control system is needed to form a consumption pattern for this material to optimize warehousing cost and ordering in RMC plants. Such a material inventory control system of batching plants could be applied as an approach for optimal estimation ...

Recent advances in Information and Communication technologies have made multimedia on demand services technically and economically feasible. An important aspect of such systems is the resource sharing technique, which allow the contemporaneous service of a large number of user requests with a considerable saving in terms of network bandwidth and server resources. In this paper, we report the re...

This paper discusses a two-stage assembly-type flowshop scheduling problem with batching considerations subject to a fixed job sequence. The two-stage assembly flowshop consists of m stage-1 parallel dedicated machines and a stage-2 assembly machine which processes the jobs in batches. Four regular performance metrics, namely, the total completion time, maximum lateness, total tardiness, and nu...

We present an algorithmic approach for speeding up SSL’s performance on a web server. Our approach improves the performance of SSL’s handshake protocol by up to a factor of 2.5 for 1024-bit RSA keys. It is designed for heavily-loaded web servers handling many concurrent SSL sessions. We improve the server’s performance by batching the SSL handshake protocol. That is, we show that b SSL handshak...

In this paper we will consider a one-machine batching problem which is a combination of a sequencing and a partitioning problem. We will develop an exponential neighborhood for this problem which can be evaluated in quadratic time using shortest path calculations. Results of a computational study are reported.

In e-commerce markets, on time delivery is of great importance to customer satisfaction. this paper, we present a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) approach for deciding how and when orders should be batched picked in warehouse minimize the number tardy orders. particular, technique facilitates making decisions whether an order individually (pick-by-order) or batch with other (pick-by-batch), i...

The effect of time bucket length on the choice of a lot-splitting approach is studied. Due to the continuing pressure to reduce throughput times and increase efficiency, managers apply various measures, such as lot splitting and cycle time reduction programmes, that change the length of the time bucket in their planning systems. It is shown that the choice for a suitable lot-splitting approach ...
