Nodes localization in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) has arisen as a very challenging problem in the research community. Most of the applications for WSN are not useful without a priori known nodes positions. One solution to the problem is…

The transition from large centralized complex control systems to distributed configurations that rely on a network of a very large number of interconnected simpler subsystems is ongoing and inevitable in many applications. It is attributed…

We consider the capacitated three-level lot-sizing and replenishment problem with a distribution structure (3LSPD-C), recently proposed in the literature. In 3LSPD-C, a single production plant delivers items to the warehouses from where…

In the era of digital commerce, the surge in online shopping and the expectation for rapid delivery have placed unprecedented demands on warehouse operations. The traditional method of order fulfilment, where human order pickers traverse…

With the integration of loads such as pulse power loads, a new control challenge is presented in meeting their high ramp rate requirements. Existing onboard generators are ramp rate limited. The inability to meet the load power due to ramp…

The increased volatility of markets and the pressing need for resource sustainability are driving supply chains towards more agile, distributed, and dynamic designs. Motivated by the Physical Internet initiative, we introduce the Dynamic…

This paper proposes a novel reinforcement learning framework to address the Liner Shipping Network Design Problem (LSNDP), a challenging combinatorial optimization problem focused on designing cost-efficient maritime shipping routes.…

Electrochemical energy storage (ES) units (e.g. batteries) have been field-validated as an efficient back-up resource that enhance resilience of the distribution system in case of natural disasters. However, using these units for resilience…

The task allocation problem in multi-robot systems (MRTA) is an NP-hard problem whose viable solutions are usually found by heuristic algorithms. Considering the increasing need of improvement on logistics, the use of robots for increasing…

The design of multi-agent based simulations (MABS) is up to now mainly done in laboratories and based on designers' understanding of the activities to be simulated. Domain experts have little chance to directly validate agent behaviors. To…

Production logistics has an important role as a chain that connects the components of the production system. The most important goal of production logistics plans is to keep the flow of the production system well. However, compared to the…

The multi-energy management framework of industrial parks advocates energy conversion and scheduling, which takes full advantage of the compensation and temporal availability of multiple energy. However, how to exploit elastic loads and…

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are used by many industries from environment monitoring systems to NASA's space exploration programs, as it has allowed society to monitor and prevent problems before they occur with less cost and maintenance.…

A wireless sensor network is composed of many sensor nodes that have been given out in a specific zone and each of them had an ability of collecting information from the environment and sending collected data to the sink. The most…

The distributed edge storage system can store data collected at the edge of the network in a decentralised manner, with low latency, high security, and flexibility. Traditional edge-distributed storage systems only consider one single…

Motivated by the change in mobility patterns, we present a scheduling approach for a vehicle-sharing problem, considering several alternative modes of transport, from a company viewpoint with centralized planning. We consider…

We consider the Single School Routing Problem (SSRP) where students from a single school are picked up by a fleet of school buses, subject to a set of constraints. The constraints that are typically imposed for school buses are bus…

Hyperconnected relay transportation enables using a relay system of short-haul drivers to deliver long-haul shipments collectively, which helps address root causes of trucker shortage issues by transforming working conditions with…

Recently, MapReduce based spatial query systems have emerged as a cost effective and scalable solution to large scale spatial data processing and analytics. MapReduce based systems achieve massive scalability by partitioning the data and…

In geographical forwarding of packets in a large wireless sensor network (WSN) with sleep-wake cycling nodes, we are interested in the local decision problem faced by a node that has custody of a packet and has to choose one among a set of…
