We consider several classical models in deterministic inventory theory: the single-item lot-sizing problem, the joint replenishment problem, and the multi-stage assembly problem. ...
— In the fields of image processing and recognition, image segmentation is an important basic technique in which an image is partitioned into multiple regions (sets of pixels). ...
Parallel dataflow programming frameworks such as Map-Reduce are increasingly being used for large scale data analysis on computing clouds. It is therefore becoming important to a...
The Steel Mill Slab Problem is an optimization benchmark that has been studied for a long time in the constraint-programming community but was only solved efficiently in the two l...
