Even though research in flow shop production scheduling has been carried out for many dec- ades, there is still a gap between research and application – especially in manufacturing para- digms such as one-of-a-kind production (OKP) that intensely ch
This paper is particularly directed to analysts and managers with some limited familiarity with the use of mathematical modelling as an aid to decision making. It is concerned with obtaining usable solutions to well-defined mathematical representati
This book is intended to serve as a comprehensive introduction to artificial intelligence (AI) heuristic state space search. It includes many developments that are not yet covered by any textbook, including pattern databases, symbolic search, search
This paper reviews several approaches to wave drift damping experienced by floating bodies. A heuristic approach first introduced by Aranha giving the wave drift damping tensor for the surge and sway modes of motion in finite depth is used. Results
