A school bus scheduling problem
Kim, Byung-In; Kim, Seongbae; Park, Junhyuk - In: European Journal of Operational Research 218 (2012) 2, pp. 577-585
This paper introduces a school bus scheduling problem wherein trips for each school are given. A trip consists of a sequence of bus stops and their designated school. Each school has its fixed time window within which trips should be completed. A school bus can serve multiple trips for multiple...

VRP12 (vehicle routing problem with distances one and two) with side constraints
Ceranoglu, Ahmet N.; Duman, Ekrem - In: International Journal of Production Economics 144 (2013) 2, pp. 461-467
The problem undertaken in this study is inspired from a real life application. Consider a vehicle routing problem where the distances between the customer locations are either one or two. We name this problem as VRP12 in an analogy for the name TSP12 used for the traveling salesman problem in...

A family of composite discrete bivariate distributions with uniform marginals for simulating realistic and challenging optimization-problem instances
Reilly, Charles H.; Sapkota, Nabin - In: European Journal of Operational Research 241 (2015) 3, pp. 642-652
We consider a family of composite bivariate distributions, or probability mass functions (pmfs), with uniform marginals for simulating optimization-problem instances. For every possible population correlation, except the extreme values, there are an infinite number of valid joint distributions...

Simulation-based optimization of an agent-based simulation
Deckert, Andreas; Klein, Robert - In: Netnomics 15 (2014) 1, pp. 33-56
Optimization of an agent-based simulation (ABS) bears specific challenges. It is demonstrated in this paper that … mainstream simulation-based optimization (SBO) approaches often do not perform well in such a setting, sometimes hardly … designed to perform well for problems which show typical properties of an agent-based simulation, a field that has largely been …

Effort and Accuracy in Choice
Johnson, Eric J.; Payne, John W. - In: Management Science 31 (1985) 4, pp. 395-414
Individuals often use several different strategies such as the expected value rule, conjunctive rule, and elimination-by-aspects, to make decisions. It has been hypothesized that strategy selection is, in part, a function of (1) the ability of a strategy to produce an accurate response and (2)...
