Human Resource Scheduling Model and Algorithm with Time Windows and Multi-Skill Constraints

Mathematics, 2019
In situations where an organization has limited human resources and a lack of multi-skilled employees, organizations pay more and more attention to cost control and personnel arrangements. Based on the consideration of the service personnel scheduling as

Park‐and‐multi‐loop with autonomous delivery robots in last‐mile logistics

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper deals with the park‐and‐multi‐loop routing problem, in the context of last‐mile logistics, in which a fleet of traditional vehicles equipped with several autonomous delivery robots leaves from a depot to service a set of customer requests.

Optimised search heuristic combining valid inequalities and tabu search [PDF]

This paper presents an Optimised Search Heuristic that combines a tabu search method with the verification of violated valid inequalities. The solution delivered by the tabu search is partially destroyed by a randomised greedy procedure, and then the ...

Persistent Instability in Policy Debates: The Three‐Body Problem of Trade, Agriculture and the Environment

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Literature on policy debates often analyses cases involving either a single or two policy fields, which typically result in stable equilibria, manifesting either as outright rejection of policy proposals, successful institutional change or the entrenchment of divisions into a deadlock.

An Improved Cuckoo Search Algorithm under Bottleneck-Degree-Based Search Guidance for Large-Scale Inter-Cell Scheduling Optimization

Applied Sciences
In order to deal with problems of reduced searching efficiency and poor quality of algorithms for large-scale inter-cell scheduling problems, an improved cuckoo search algorithm under bottleneck-degree-based search guidance is proposed.

“Why?”: C. Wright Mills on the Spirit of the Classical Sociological Tradition and Positivist Versus Critical Sociology

Sociology Lens, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite their very diverse interests, the classical sociological thinkers were concerned with analyzing the dramatic social transformations in the wake of colonialism, slavery, and modern industrial capitalism as well as the multiple revolutions, particularly in relation to the new forms of social inequalities and power disparities.

A formulation and a metaheuristic approach for the clustered vehicle routing problem with d‐relaxed priority rule

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 3714-3743, November 2026.
Abstract This paper investigates an extension of the vehicle routing problem in which, in addition to minimizing the distance traveled, the sequencing of customer visits is subject to precedence constraints that impose visiting priorities among customers.
