Risks in software development with imperfect testing
DOI: 10.1504/IJAOM.2009.026522 | Tapan P. Bagchi | This study analytically assesses the risk of releasing defective software that cannot be exhaustively tested and of needlessly testing defect-free software. Specifically, it quantifies the probability of committing a Type II error (ß) ... | 1 - 29 |
Scheduling on parallel identical machines to minimise the total weighted tardiness
DOI: 10.1504/IJAOM.2009.026522 | Nizar Souayah, Imed Kacem, Mohamed Haouari, Chengbin Chu | This paper considers the problem of scheduling n independent jobs on m identical parallel machines to minimise the total weighted tardiness. We propose several lower bounds and upper bounds. These bounding procedures are used in a new branc... | 30 - 69 |
An application of newsboy problem for determining policies for optimal stocking of textbooks
DOI: 10.1504/IJAOM.2009.026522 | Ramakrishnan Ramanathan | Some colleges, especially in the Middle East, maintain an exclusive textbook centre for the benefit of students. The centre procures textbooks for the courses offered by the college, circulates free of charge to students at the beginning of... | 70 - 79 |
Fuzzy genetic scheduling with single and multiple schedulers
DOI: 10.1504/IJAOM.2009.026522 | Gursel A. Suer, David Allard | This paper seeks to determine the feasibility of using fuzzy concepts in conjunction with genetic algorithms to solve multi-objective single machine scheduling considering both single scheduler and multiple schedulers. Another focus of this... | 80 - 107 |
Integration of operational policies into the design phase of a material handling network
DOI: 10.1504/IJAOM.2009.026522 | Ardavan Asef-Vaziri, Gilbert Laporte | We compare the effectiveness and efficiency of alternative operational dispatching policies that are integrated into the design phase of a circular material handling network for automated material handling vehicles. Exact formulations descr... | 108 - 134 |
