In this paper, the designing of a parallel channel queuing system is considered in which it is desirable to serve the customers immediately upon their arrival. To design such a service facility, the first and the second ...

This paper addresses minimizing Total Weighted Earliness/Tardiness(TWET) of jobs in a Flexible Job Shop (FJS) problem. The FJS problem is an extension of the classical Job Shop (JS) problem that implies each operation may ...

This paper presents an algorithmic approach to solving the problem of excessive travel in C.N.C. machine tools, by introducing an efficient method to compute the shortest path between given sets of points (origin and ...

This paper presents the results on the development of a novel micromachined parallel plate tunable capacitor with a wide tuning range. Different from conventional parallel plate capacitors, this novel tunable capacitor ...

A unified multiple-access performance analysis and comparison of three multicarrier spread-spectrum multiple-access schemes, namely, MC CDMA (Multicarrier Code-Division Multiple-Access), MC-FH (Multicarrier Frequency ...

State evaluation of universities is important for administrators to serve as a basis for performance monitoring, policy formulations and distribution of funds. In this paper, a formal methodology was proposed to build a ...

In this paper, the problem of finding the shortest path between two points in the presence of single-point visibility constraints is studied. In these types of constraint, there should be at least one point on the output ...

The inventory system under consideration consists of one central warehouse and an arbitrary number of retailers controlled by a continuous review inventory policy (R,Q). Independent Poisson demands are assumed with constant ...
