A New Formulation for the Traveling Salesman Problem With Drone and Lockers
ABSTRACT Nowadays, driven by factors such as the rapid growth of online sales, different delivery methods are being explored to improve last‐mile logistics processes. Among these, the combined use of trucks and drones and the option of utilizing parcel lockers as an alternative to home delivery have led to the definition of new optimization problems ...

Non-Preemptive Scheduling on Machines with Setup Times
Consider the problem in which n jobs that are classified into k types are to be scheduled on m identical machines without preemption. A machine requires a proper setup taking s time units before processing jobs of a given type.

Picking Operations in Warehouses With Dynamically Arriving Orders: How Good is Reoptimization?
ABSTRACT E‐commerce operations are essentially online, with customer orders arriving dynamically. However, very little is known about the performance of online policies for warehousing with respect to optimality, particularly for order picking and batching operations, which constitute a substantial portion of the total operating costs in warehouses. We

Special cases of online parallel job scheduling [PDF]
In this paper we consider the online scheduling of jobs, which require processing on a number of machines simultaneously. These jobs are presented to a decision maker one by one, where the next job becomes known as soon as the current job is scheduled ...

Lower Bound for Envy-Free and Truthful Makespan Approximation on Related Machines
We study problems of scheduling jobs on related machines so as to minimize the makespan in the setting where machines are strategic agents. In this problem, each job $j$ has a length $l_{j}$ and each machine $i$ has a private speed $t_{i}$.

Proportionally Fair Makespan Approximation
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

CO2 Storage Site Selection: A Comprehensive Review of Current Approaches
ABSTRACT Global warming, driven by increasing anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, has emerged as a critical environmental concern. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology offers a promising solution for reducing CO2 emissions, but its effectiveness depends on identifying suitable candidates that can ensure safe, long‐term storage of CO2.

Energy Efficient VM Selection Using CSOA‐VM Model in Cloud Data Centers
ABSTRACT The cloud data centres evolved with an issue of energy management due to the constant increase in size, complexity and enormous consumption of energy. Energy management is a challenging issue that is critical in cloud data centres and an important concern of research for many researchers.
