Despite a lot of research about predictive maintenance for onshore and offshore windmill farms, nearly no investigation has been performed to obtain the optimal sequence in which windmills are to be served in a predefined time frame. The higher fuel costs and the increasing time pressure on...

This study proposes a modified Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm based on Hummingbird Flight (HBF) patterns to enhance the search quality and population diversity. The HBF has five concepts: (1) Smaller steps toward position updating are more likely than larger ones, (2) Position...

As an integral part of the global supply chain network, Indonesian supply chain entities should understand conditional seaport risk factors that could lead to seaport threats that affect supply chain continuity. This study aims to provide a procedure for evaluating the interdependencies,...

Purpose: We consider the problem of route planning of multiple rechargeable heterogeneous UAVs with multiple trips under mission time and payload carrying constraints. The goal is to determine the types and number of UAVs to be deployed and their flying paths that minimizes the monetary cost,...

We present an approximation method for the hybrid flow shop scheduling problem based on relaxation and machine learning techniques. Our model combines a suitable relaxation of the objective function to a continuous solution space with a self-supervised learning method for neural networks, which...

Decentral production control plays a crucial role within the paradigm of Industry 4.0. Due to the fast and flexible decisions on allocation and sequencing required by this type of control, there is no baseline production schedule in advance. This creates a dilemma for efficient staff deployment...

This study uses a two-level programming model to present a Stackelberg game. The two-level programming problems consist of two levels of decision-making, each level having its objective function. This model's first player (leader) includes the supplier and manufacturer, while the second player...

In this study, we propose a mathematical model of a 4D clustered traveling salesman problem (CTSP) to address the cost-effective security and risk-related difficulties associated with the TSP. We used a multiparent-based memetic genetic algorithm to optimize paths between all clusters and...

Surface Electromyography (sEMG) is a technique for measuring muscle activity by recording electrical signals from the surface of the body. It is widely used in fields such as medical diagnosis, human-computer interaction, and sports injury rehabilitation. The detection of the onset and offset of...
