Transit vehicles operating under skip-stop service visit only a subset of the stops residing along corridor. It is strategy commonly used to increase vehicle speeds and reduce patron travel times. The present paper develops continuous approximation model optimally design select form service, termed AB-type service. accounts for spatially-heterogeneous demand patterns. An efficient heuristic dev...

This paper presents PORSCE II, an integrated system that performs automatic semantic web service composition exploiting AI techniques, mainly planning. Essential steps in achieving the web service composition include the translation of the web service composition problem into a solver-ready planning domain & problem, followed by the acquisition of solutions, and the translation of the solutions...

Air emissions from ships have become an important issue in sustainable shipping because of the low quality marine fuel consumed by ships. To reduce sulfur shipping, International Maritime Organization has established emission control areas (ECAs) where must use low-sulfur with at most 0.1% or take equivalent emission-reduction measures.
