Central East Pacific Flight Scheduling
AIAA Guidance, Navigation and Control Conference and Exhibit, 2007*† ‡ This paper examines the implications of strategically scheduling flights on user-preferred routes in the Central East Pacific to reduce trajectory crossing points. After first casting the flight scheduling problem in terms of a job shop scheduling problem, a 0-1 integer programming model is used to calculate the optimal departure and en route ...

Centralized–decentralized optimization for refinery scheduling
Computers & Chemical Engineering, 2009This paper presents a novel decomposition strategy for solving large scale refinery scheduling problems. Instead of formulating one huge and unsolvable MILP or MINLP for centralized problem, we propose a general decomposition scheme that generates smaller sub-systems that can be solved to global optimality.

Centralized Scheduling Logic for Canal Operation
Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering, 1991Many schemes and devices have been developed and tested during the past three decades for automatic control of canal networks. Most of these have used local flow criteria to determine gate settings. Computer simulation of transient canal hydraulics has also been used to help test some of the ideas for canal automation, and in some cases the simulations

Centralized nurse scheduling to simultaneously improve schedule cost and nurse satisfaction
Omega, 2013Abstract Nursing managers are faced with rising turnover and shortages of qualified nursing staff. At the same time they are under increased pressure to simultaneously increase patient care and satisfaction while reducing costs. In this study, we examine the impact of centralizing scheduling decisions across departments in a hospital.

Centralized and Decentralized Coordinated Scheduling with Muting
2014 IEEE 79th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC Spring), 2014We compare the algorithms for centralized and decentralized multi-cell joint optimization of coordinated scheduling with muting. For conventional non-overlapping clusters of cooperating cells, we show that for the same latency of communication, an appropriate decentralized algorithm can equivalently achieve the same jointly optimal solution achieved by

A Computerized Scheduling System with Centralized Staffing
JONA: The Journal of Nursing Administration, 1979Personnel costs make up approximately 70 percent of the operating expense of a hospital, and nursing service accounts for a large percentage of those personnel costs. It is imperative that nursing personnel be appropriately scheduled so that patient care units are properly staffed while personnel budgets are maintained.

Scheduling Wind-Optimal Central East Pacific Flights
Air Traffic Control Quarterly, 2008This study addresses one of the issues being raised as a Concept of Operation (CONOPS) is being developed for the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen), systems to maximize the use of the oceanic domain airspace through new ways of enhancing situational awareness by pilots and new routes that take advantage of wind conditions.

Resource scheduling in centralized OBS-based grids
Journal of Optical Networking, 2008A centralized optical burst switching (OBS)-based grid architecture is proposed. Three scheduling strategies, for the resources on the grid level, the network level, and the OBS network level, respectively, are presented and analyzed. The overall grid performance and the network performance under different scheduling strategies are analyzed and ...

Residual Energy Extraction Using Centralized Scheduling Algorithm
2008 4th International Conference on Wireless Communications, Networking and Mobile Computing, 2008Wireless sensor networks consist of small size, low cost, low power sensor nodes. Due to its limited power source, energy consumption has been concerned as the most critical factor when designing sensor network protocols. Facing this challenge, several approaches to prolong lifetime of the sensor networks, including scheduling where active nodes ...
