Assessing second‐price auctions for parcel exchanges in last‐mile logistics

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract The rapid growth of e‐commerce has led to multiple carriers operating in the same regions, creating opportunities for collaboration. However, logistics companies typically operate independently, leading to inefficiencies. Horizontal cooperation, where carriers share resources and infrastructure, can improve efficiency and reduce costs.

Scheduling optimization of optical lens polishing

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 3744-3768, November 2026.
Abstract Optical systems have achieved notable progress in focusing and imaging technologies; however, manual grinding remains indispensable, resulting in elevated costs, extended timelines, and inefficiencies. These difficulties are compounded by operational constraints, uneven machine utilization, and risks of order delays and escalating expenses ...

Proportionally Fair Makespan Approximation

Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence
We study fair mechanisms for the classic job scheduling problem on unrelated machines with the objective of minimizing the makespan. This problem is equivalent to minimizing the egalitarian social cost in the fair division of chores. The two prevalent fairness notions in the fair division literature are envy-freeness and proportionality. Prior work has

Enhancing Performance Analysis of OpenMP Task‐Based Applications: Enriched and Interactive Visualizations With StarVZ

Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, Volume 38, Issue 15, August 2026.
ABSTRACT OpenMP, a leading tool for loop‐based parallel programming on shared memory platforms, is becoming a more powerful environment for exploiting task‐based parallelism. Recent specification versions have added support for new task clauses, while the OMPT interface provides a standard API for performance monitoring. In this paper, we present a new

InterRC: An Inter-Resources Collaboration Heuristic for Scheduling Independent Tasks on Heterogeneous Distributed Environments

Mendel, 2019
The independent task scheduling problem in distributed computing environments with makespan optimization as an objective is an NP-Hard problem. Consequently, an important number of approaches looking to approximate the optimal makespan in reasonable time

The Permutation Flow Shop Scheduling Problem with Human Resources: MILP Models, Decoding Procedures, NEH-Based Heuristics, and an Iterated Greedy Algorithm

Mathematics, 2022
In this paper, we address the permutation flow shop scheduling problem with sequence-dependent and non-anticipatory setup times. These setups are performed or supervised by multiple servers, which are renewable secondary resources (typically human ...
