Time-Efficient Allocation Mechanisms for Crowdsensing Tasks with Precedence Constraints [PDF]
Sensors, 2019 Crowdsensing has emerged as an efficient and inexpensive way to perform specialized tasks by leveraging external crowds. In some crowdsensing systems, different tasks may have different requirements, and there may be precedence constraints among them ...

An Adaptive Evolutionary Algorithm for Traveling Salesman Problem with Precedence Constraints [PDF]
The Scientific World Journal, 2014 Traveling sales man problem with precedence constraints is one of the most notorious problems in terms of the efficiency of its solution approach, even though it has very wide range of industrial applications.

Efficient Data Collection in Widely Distributed Wireless Sensor Networks with Time Window and Precedence Constraints [PDF]
Sensors, 2017 In addition to the traditional densely deployed cases, widely distributed wireless sensor networks (WDWSNs) have begun to emerge. In these networks, sensors are far away from each other and have no network connections.

A precedence constrained flow shop scheduling problem with transportation time, breakdown times, and weighted jobs [PDF]
Journal of Project Management, 2022 Job precedence can often be seen in various manufacturing process scenarios. For instance, in the context of flow shop scheduling, certain jobs must be processed before a specific job may be executed.

A Job-Shop Scheduling Problem with Bidirectional Circular Precedence Constraints
Complexity, 2021 This paper introduces a job-shop scheduling problem (JSP) with bidirectional circular precedence constraints, called BCJSP. In the problem, each job can be started from any operation and continued by its remaining operations in a circular precedence ...

Analytic Hierarchy Process and Multilayer Network-Based Method for Assembly Line Balancing
Applied Sciences, 2020 Assembly line balancing improves the efficiency of production systems by the optimal assignment of tasks to operators. The optimisation of this assignment requires models that provide information about the activity times, constraints and costs of the ...
