Overall energy efficiency is crucial for green production and carbon dioxide emission, especially for energy-intensive industries such as steel making. To deal with unrelated parallel machine scheduling for steelmaking-continuous casting that is the bottleneck and energy-intensive process, this...

Renewable energy has been a worldwide interest due to a growing energy demand as well as a mounting concern over the hostile impacts from traditional fuels. One of a direction for future renewable energy is the use of biofuel. In this research, we initially apply the K-means algorithm to...

In today’s competitive environment, projects must be implemented at a lower cost and in less time, and resources must be used optimally. Therefore, project management and scheduling using an efficient tool is a necessity. Resource constraint project scheduling (RCPSP) is one of the most widely...
