The paper makes an attempt to minimize the makespan and total tardiness in the flow shop scheduling using Artificial Neural Network (ANN). A feed forward back propagation neural network is implemented for the optimal solution of the problem. The network has been trained with the optimal...

Transshipments, monitored movements of material at the same echelon of a supply chain, represent an effective pooling mechanism. With a single exception, research on transshipments overlooks replenishment lead times. The only approach for two-location inventory systems with non-negligible lead...

his book deals with the learning behavior of boundedly rational agents in economic systems. In particular, the modeling of learning populations by genetic algorithms is studied in detail. After an extensive review and discussion of the existing literature in the first part, a mathematical...
