Quality of Service (QoS) refers to a set of rules or techniques that help the network administrators use the available network resources optimally to manage the effects of congestion and to treat the applications according to their needs. The differentiated services architecture (DiffServ) allows providing quality of service to users. The major DiffServ premise is that individual flows with sim...

Critical Path method (CPM) is widely used in project scheduling and controlling. In conventional project scheduling problem, the crisp numbers are used for the activity times. But in reality, in an imprecise and uncertain environment, it is an unrealistic assumption. To represent the uncertainty involved we have considered the interval-valued numbers to represent the activity times. In this pap...

Since that a job usually contains several working procedures in actual production, and it’s hard to optimize the flexible collaborative planning, the flexible lot splitting and scheduling of the job simultaneously in batch production mode, a model for multiobjective integration of flexible collaborative planning and fuzzy lot-splitting scheduling is established. We take four performance indicat...

This paper presents a kernel fuzzy clustering with a novel differential harmony search algorithm to coordinate with the diversion scheduling scheme classification. First, we employed a self-adaptive solution generation strategy and differential evolution-based population update strategy to improve the classical harmony search. Second, we applied the differential harmony search algorithm to the ...
