In this paper we show how multi-theory logic programming techniques can be prootably applied to the realization of multi-agent systems which solve complex problems. Our goal is to use logic programming as a tool to give an executable speciication of a multi-agent system, obtained from a high-level informal description of the interactions among the diierent system components. We have implemented...

In recent years, Supplier evaluation and selection, an important element in supply chain management, has been gaining attention in both academic literature and industrial practice. The Mixed integer multi-Objective non-Linear programming model (MIMONLP) presented in this paper aimed to evaluate and select the appropriate set of suppliers considering quantitative and qualitative criteria and in ...

Assembly lines are often indispensable in factories, and order to attain a certain level of assembly line productivity, multiple goals must be considered at the same time. However, these may conflict with each other, this is multi-objective balancing problem. This study considers four objectives, namely minimizing cycle time, number workstations, workload variance, workstation idle Since object...

Due to the importance of supplier selection issue in supply chain management (SCM) and ,also,  the increasing tendency of organizations to their social responsibilities, In this paper, we survey the supplier selection issue as a multi objective problem while considering the factor of corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a mathematical parameter. The purpose of this paper is to design a mode...

In rigid plastic analysis one of the most widely applicable methods that is based on the minimum principle, is the combination of elementary mechanisms which uses the upper bound theorem. In this method a mechanism is searched which corresponds to the smallest load factor. Mathematical programming can be used to optimize this search process for simple fra...

Strategic planning is expressly significant for company ́s success and competitive advantage making in an increasingly competitive business environment. So management of companies have to provide decision making processes to ensure smooth running of the company. Widely used approach for solving multi criteria decision problems is goal programming. The article is dedicated to the application of m...
