today, the effective inventory management plays an important role in the success of the organizations in the new business environment. it is not clearly possible for the organizations that store hundreds of inventory items to economically design an inventory management policy for each inventory item separately. moreover, various inventory items may play quite different roles in the business of ...

Multiple-criteria ABC (MCABC) analysis is conducted using a dominance-based rough set approach. ABC analysis, a well-known technique for inventory planning and control, divides stock-keeping units (SKUs) into three classes according to annual dollar usage. But MCABC analysis offers more managerial flexibility by including other criteria, such as lead time and criticality, in the classification ...

In this paper we present a cooperative coevolutive model for the evolution of neural network topology and weights, called MOBNET. MOBNET evolves subcomponents that must be combined in order to form a network, instead of whole networks. The problem of assigning credit to the subcomponents is approached as a multi-objective optimization task. The subcomponents in a cooperative coevolutive model m...

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), which rely on vehicular ad hoc communication networks (VANETs), have the potential to alleviate road accidents and to save lives. Several use cases to VANETs safety applications have been proposed. Most of these applications use multi-hop broadcasting communications to disseminate safety information as far as needed in zones of relevance. A wide variety...

The article presents a mathematical model of multi-stage game the process safe control transport object in possible collision situations with other encountered objects, containing description state variables, and constraints, sets permissible strategies. Multi-criteria optimization tasks were formulated form positional matrix games under conditions playing non-cooperative cooperative as well no...

The prediction of high-level music categories, such as genres, styles, or personal preferences, helps to organise music collections. The relevance of single audio features for automatic classification depends on a certain category. Relevant feature subsets for each classification task can be identified by means of feature selection. Continuing our previous studies on multi-objective feature sel...

one of the most important steps involved in mining operations is to select an appropriate extraction method for mine resources. after choosing the extraction method, it is usually impossible to replace it with another one because it may be so expensive that implementation of the entire project could be economically impossible. choosing a mining method depends on the geological and geometrical c...

emergency department has become a useful way to the access to hospital and it is a subject of study for many researchers. the research developed in this paper aims to improve the performance of the emergency department(ed) of sfax hospital. simulation results showed that to manage to increase the number of treated patients and thus to decrease the patient cycle time, it is important to add a sp...
