Single machine scheduling with sequence-dependent setup times is one of the classical problems of production planning with widespread applications in many industries. Solving this problem under the min-makespan objective is well known to be strongly NP-hard. We consider a special case of the...

We consider the problem of allocating containers to ships in which the size of container is 1 or 2, and each ship has its own capacity and fixed departure time. The fixed departure times implies the completion times of containers belonging to the same ship are identical. As objectives, Lmax,...

The capacity of a runway system represents a bottleneck at many international airports. The current practice at airports is to land approaching aircraft on a first-come, first-served basis. An active rescheduling of aircraft landing times increases runway capacity or reduces delays. The problem...
