Multicast routing is the problem of finding the spanning tree of a set of destinations whose roots are the source node and its leaves are the set of destination nodes by optimizing a set of quality of service parameters and satisfying a set of transmission constraints. This article proposes a...

This article presents an original method based on Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm 2 (SPEA2) to solve the multi-objective reconfiguration problem of minimizing active power loss and improving power system reliability. The proposed evolutionary method is based on the Pareto optimality...

A well-designed supply chain network should not only meet the efficient cost but also realize the sustainable effect on environment. The purpose of this article is to develop a multi-objective model to capture the trade-off between total cost and environmental performance in the green...

This article presents a closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) network design problem consisting of both forward and reverse material flows. Here, a four-echelon single-product system is introduced in which multiple transportation channels are considered between the nodes of each echelon. Each design...

Manufacturing processes are responsible for a considerable amount of global energy consumption and world CO2 emissions. Reducing energy consumption during manufacturing is considered one of the most important strategies in contributing to the green supply chain. In this context, the authors...

Cloud computing, with dependable, consistent, pervasive, and inexpensive access to geographically distributed computational capabilities, is becoming an increasingly popular platform for the execution of scientific applications such as scientific workflows. Scheduling multiple workflows over...
