This paper describes the development of a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model for the standard N-job, M-machine flowshop sequencing problem. Based on an earlier all-integer model developed ...

A two-person, noncooperative game in which the players move in sequence can be modeled as a bilevel optimization problem. In this paper, we examine the case where each player tries to maximize the ...

This paper presents a novel approach to the joint optimization of job scheduling and data allocation in grid computing environments. We formulate this joint optimization problem as a mixed integer ...

Abstract: Diffusion processes in semiconductor fabrication facilities (Fabs) refer to the series of processes from wafer cleaning processes to furnace processes. Most furnace tools are batch tools, ...

Roughly, we will cover the following topics (some of them may be skipped depending on the time available). Linear Programming: Basics, Simplex Algorithm, and Duality. Applications of Linear ...
