Wafer sorting is usually regarded as the most critical stage in the whole wafer probing process. This paper discusses the wafer sorting scheduling problem (WSSP) with total setup time minimization as ...

The Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 66, No. 4 (APRIL 2015), pp. 615-626 (12 pages) We introduce and study the Travelling Salesman Problem with Multiple Time Windows and Hotel ...

In this paper we have introduced a heuristic algorithm which automatically maps a given set of intellectual property onto a generic regular network-on-chip (NoC) architecture and constructs a ...

We investigate the optimization of a securitized asset pool for collateralized loan obligation (CLO) transactions. Defining economic risk transfer as the objective function for optimization and the ...

Pairing artificial intelligence techniques called Q-learning and advantage actor-critic provides new way to optimize hybrid photovoltaic-thermoelectric systems.
