TL;DR: The obtained results imply the high efficiency and robustness of the proposed heuristic for both solution quality and computational effort.

TL;DR: A multi-objective simulated annealing (MOSA) algorithm is described in this chapter to solve a real maintenance workforce scheduling problem (MWSP) aimed at simultaneously minimizing the workforce cost and maximizing the equipment availability.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple recursive method for characterizing Poisson process functionals that requires only the use of conditional probability is described, which is useful for convex hulls, extremes, stable measures, infinitely divisible random variables and Bayesian nonparametric priors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a methodology that can use both experts' knowledge and statistical data to estimate the parameters of PHM, which results in a set of inequalities which in turn define a feasible space for the values of the parameters.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model for multiple degradation features of an individual component is introduced and a proportional hazards model is presented, which considers hard failures and multiple degradation feature simultaneously, to predict the mean remaining useful life of a component based on on-line degradation information.
