Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison between simulated annealing, genetic algorithm and tabu search methods for the unconstrained quadratic Pseudo-Boolean function
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed three meta-heurstics procedures: simulated annealing, genetic algorithm and tabu search, for the unconstrained quadratic Pseudo-Boolean function.
Journal ArticleDOI
A two-stage stochastic programming model for the parallel machine scheduling problem with machine capacity
Talal M. Alkhamis,Rym M'Hallah +1 more
TL;DR: A two-stage stochastic programming model for the parallel machine scheduling problem where the objective is to determine the machines' capacities that maximize the expected net profit of on-time jobs when the due dates are uncertain is proposed.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Simulation-based optimization using simulated annealing with confidence interval
TL;DR: This paper develops a variant of simulated annealing (SA) algorithm for solving discrete stochastic optimization problems where the objective function is Stochastic and can be evaluated only through Monte Carlo simulations, and uses a constant temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Refinery units maintenance scheduling using integer programming
Talal M. Alkhamis,Jay Yellen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an integer programming approach is presented to model and solve the problem of refinery unit maintenance scheduling, which is to determine the schedule for preventive maintenance of refinery units over a specified operational planning horizon so that the unit utilization level is maximized and maintenance constraints are satisfied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Minimising total weighted earliness and tardiness on parallel machines using a hybrid heuristic
Rym M'Hallah,Talal M. Alkhamis +1 more
TL;DR: Small instances of this problem are tackled via an exact mixed-integer program, whereas larger instances are approximately solved using hybrid algorithms.
