An engineer elegantly solves a basic transit scheduling problem, potentially meaning shorter waits for riders. The question: how much slack should be schedulers of a bus or tram line add to keep ...

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate a heuristic procedure for solving the resource-constrained project scheduling problem. Projects that involve completing a sequence of well defined activities, ...

The Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 49, No. 11 (Nov., 1998), pp. 1130-1145 (16 pages) We have developed a Genetic algorithm (GA) for the optimisation of maintenance overhaul ...

Grid computing is a powerful form of distributed computing wherein a network of loosely coupled and geographically separated computers, typically of different computational powers, work together to ...

Network slowdowns could soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a superfast new algorithm. The breakthrough offers a dramatically faster solution to a problem that has been plaguing computer scientists ...
