A Hybrid Method Integrating a Discrete Differential Evolution Algorithm with Tabu Search Algorithm for the Quadratic Assignment Problem: A New Approach for Locating Hospital Departments [PDF]
The facility layout problem (FLP) is a very important class of NP-hard problems in operations research that deals with the optimal assignment of facilities to minimize transportation costs. The quadratic assignment problem (QAP) can model the FLP effectively.

Mixed model assembly line feeding with discrete location assignments and variable station space
Abstract Nowadays, the number of parts used in assembly systems is constantly increasing due to more product models being produced in different variants. Therefore, providing all parts to an assembly line in an efficient manner is a crucial task as space is getting more and more scarce.

Phylogeography on the rocks: The contribution of current and historical factors in shaping the genetic structure of Chthamalus montagui (Crustacea, Cirripedia). [PDF]
The model marine broadcast-spawner barnacle Chthamalus montagui was investigated to understand its genetic structure and quantify levels of population divergence, and to make inference on historical demography in terms of time of divergence and changes ...

Hybrid approach of discrete event simulation integrated with location search algorithm in a cells assignment problem: a case study [PDF]
[EN] This paper presents a case study describing a cell assignment problem in an assembly facility. These cells receive parts from external suppliers, and sort and sequence these parts to feed the final assembly line. Therefore, to each cell are associated important inbound and outbound flows generating hundreds of material handling equipment movements

Relaxation-discretization algorithm for spatially constrained secondary location assignment
Agent-based transport models demand that the daily activity patterns of artificial agents are described in great detail. While established choice models for residential locations or work places exist, only few approaches are available to find locations for highly constrained secondary activities such as grocery shopping or recreation.
