in this research, both resource allocation and reactive resource allocation problems in multi-server dynamic pert networks are analytically modeled, where new projects are expected to arrive according to a poisson process, and activity durations are also known as independent random variables with exponential distributions. such system is represented as a queuing network, where multi servers at ...

We are interested in a job-shop scheduling problem corresponding to an industrial problem. Gantt diagram’s optimization can be considered as an NP-difficult problem. Determining an optimal solution is almost impossible, but trying to improve the current solution is a way of leading to a better allocation. The goal is to reduce the delay in an existing solution and to obtain better scheduling at...

in this study, a multi-objective genetic algorithm (moga) is utilized to extract interpretable and compact fuzzy rule bases for modeling nonlinear multi-input multi-output (mimo) systems. in the process of non- linear system identi cation, structure selection, parameter estimation, model performance and model validation are important objectives. furthermore, se- curing low-level and high-level ...

In this paper, we present a novel multi-objective mathematical model for capacitated single allocation hub location problem. There are the vehicle capacity constraint and capacity restrictions amount of the incoming flow to the hub while the balancing requirements of incoming quantities of flow to the each hub is considered. Moreover, there is a set of available capacities for each potential hu...

rapid technological and economic growth over the last several decades has changed human lives and made modern society face complex decision making problems. these kinds of problems are characterized by incommensurate and conflicting criteria or objectives such as cost, reliability, performance, safety and productivity. multi criteria decision making is an approach that can be used to deal compl...

In this paper, we study an integrated logistic system where the optimal location of depots and vehicles routing are considered simultaneously. This paper presents a new mathematical model for a multi-objective capacitated location-routing problem with a new set of objectives consisting of the summation of economic costs, summation of social risks and demand satisfaction score. A new multi-objec...

one main group of a transportation network is a discrete hub covering problem that seeks to minimize the total transportation cost. this paper presents a multi-product and multi-mode hub covering model, in which the transportation time depends on travelling mode between each pair of hubs. indeed, the nature of products is considered different and hub capacity constraint is also applied. due to ...

Design and expansion of distribution systems seems inevitable in view of the need to satisfy the rise in energy consumption in a technical and economical way. Optimal location, sizing and determining the service area of substations is one of the principle problems in expansion of distribution systems. Also uncertainty is one of the important factors that increase risk of exact decision makings....
