The production planning is an important problem in most of manufacturing systems in practice. Unlike many researches existing in literature, this problem encounters with great uncertainties in parameters and input data. In this paper, a single machine capacitated production planning problem is considered and a linear programming formulation is presented. The production costs are assumed to be u...

the paper discusses the location-allocation model for logistic networks and distribution centers through considering uncertain parameters. in real-world cases, demands and transshipment costs change over the period of the time. this may lead to large cost deviation in total cost. scenario based robust optimization approaches are proposed where occurrence probability of each scenario is not know...

Architecture-based reliability analysis has gained prominence in the recent years as a way to predict the reliability of a software application during the design phase, before an investment is made in any implementation. To apply this analysis, the parameters comprising the architectural model must be estimated using the limited data and knowledge available during the design phase. These estima...

In this paper the focusing principle of Kirchoff migration is described. This allows the introduction of optical focusing techniques that can be used to focus migration. Three focus measures are described that are useful for optimising migration. Simple optimisation routines are implemented that model uncertainties in the migration parameters. The focus measures are then used as cost functions ...
