In this paper, we address the problem of routing nets on multi-FPGA systems interconnected by a switch matrix. Switch matrices were introduced to route signals going from one channel to another inside the FPGA chips. We extend the switch matrix architecture proposed by Zhu et al. [1] to route nets between FPGA chips in a multi-FPGA system. Given a limited number of routing resources in the form...

Through the use of autonomy Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can be used to solve a range multi-agent problems that exist in real world, for example search and rescue or surveillance. Within these scenarios global objective might often better achieved if aspects problem optimally shared amongst its agents. However, uncertain, dynamic partially observable environments centralised global-optimisat...

One of the important aspects of distribution optimization problems is simultaneously, controlling the inventory while devising the best vehicle routing, which is a famous problem, called inventory-routing problem (IRP). When the lot-sizing decisions are jointed with IRP, the problem will get more complicated called production inventory-routing problem (PIRP). To become closer to the real life p...

The frequent change of network topology in mobile ad-hoc network leads to the stability and reliability problems of routing. Many routing schemes such as multi-path routing and backup path routing are proposed to increase the link reliability. Multi-path routing protocols usually concentrate on load balancing or disjoint routing. However, the problem of packet loss caused by re-routing from the...

How to reduce the accidents of hazardous materials has become an important and urgent research topic in safety management materials. In this study, we focus on half open multi-depot heterogeneous vehicle routing problem for transportation. The goal is determine allocation optimal route with minimum risk cost A novel transportation model presented considering variation loading, types, category. ...

Abstract This paper introduces the multi-depot open location routing problem (MD-OLRP) with a heterogeneous fixed fleet. The is inspired by collection of company which collects raw materials from different suppliers coordinating several carriers. Each carrier has Moreover, there cost for contracting each vehicle and variable associated distance traveled. empty haul return to vehicles depot not ...
