This paper deals with automated guided vehicles (AGVs) which transport containers between the quai and the stack on automated container terminals. The focus is on the assigment of transportation jobs to AGVs within a terminal control system operating in real time. First, we describe a rather...

In general scheduling a sports league is a difficult combinatorial optimization problem. We study some variants of round robin tournaments and analyze the relationship with the planar three index assignment problem. The complexity of scheduling a round robin tournaments is settled by a reduction...

A single round robin tournament can be described as a league of a set T of n teams (n even) to be scheduled such that each team plays exactly once against each other team and such that each team plays exactly once per period resulting in a set P of n — 1 periods. Matches are carried out at one...
