Among the different aims and scopes of Computer-Aided Innovation (CAI) systems a relevant topic is the support of inventive problem solving tasks. The paper presents the research activity developed by the authors in this domain, encompassing the review of the distinctive features of problems encountered by designers and the common approaches employed to overcome them. A further thread of the in...

Lightpath Reconfiguration is a common task that is often performed in order to improve resources utilization. The WDM reconfiguration problem becomes non-trivial when the new set of lightpaths requires the release of resources previously seized by the old ones, but, in order to assure continuous traffic flow, the old ones cannot be torn down before the new ones are set up. Under these condition...

In this paper, three criteria scheduling problem of n jobs on a single machine is considered. Each these to be processed without interruption and becomes available for processing at time zero. The minimize objectives simultaneously, which are the completion time, maximum tardiness, earliness. Here, we develop fuzzy multi-objective linear programming (FMOLP) model solving in environment by using...
