L'Internet des objets, ou IdO (en anglais Internet of Things, ou IoT) conduit à un changement de paradigme du secteur de la logistique. L'avènement de l'IoT a modifié l'écosystème de la gestion des services logistiques. Les fournisseurs de services logistiques utilisent aujourd'hui des technologies de capteurs telles que le GPS ou la télémétrie pour collecter des données en temps réel pendant la livraison. La collecte en temps réel des données permet aux fournisseurs de services de suivre et de gérer efficacement leur processus d'expédition. Le principal avantage de la collecte de données en t

Abstract:

This dissertation focuses on improvements in vehicle routing that can be gained by allowing multiple vehicles to service a common load. We explore how costs can be reduced through the elimination of the constraint that a load must be serviced by only one vehicle. Specifically, we look at the problem of routing vehicles to service loads that have distinct origins and destinations, with no constraint on the amount of a load that a vehicle may service. We call this the Pickup and Delivery Problem with Split Loads (PDPSL). We model this problem as a dynamic program and introduce structural res

Abstract:

nÃo hÃ<br>The continuous growth of populations and their concentration in great urban centers is reflected in an increasing demand for products and services in such areas. However, the distribution of a range of different products within the same geographic area, in many cases relying on the same transportation infrastructure, is becoming ever more complex and costly. The purpose of this study was to develop and test an application based on metaheuristic Genetic Algorithms (GA) designed to optimize the logistics of product distribution and delivery.

The objective of this research project is to develop an ocular insert for the systemic delivery of insulin. Insulin was delivered by a Gelfoam®-based device. All formulations were evaluated for their ability to lower blood glucose concentrations in rabbits. Device removal and flow-through methods were used to investigate the in vivo and in vitro release of the insulin device. Results indicate that the proposed ocular device with an enhancer gives a uniform blood glucose reduction for up to 10 hours. The efficacy of the proposed device can be greatly improved by treating the gelatin sponge with

First, the paths to be followed between any pairs of targets should be determined. This part can be considered as a multi-objective shortest path problem. Additionally, we need to determine the order of the targets to be visited. This in turn, is a multi-objective traveling salesperson problem. The

Abstract:

This dissertation addresses issues for the efficient access to Web databases and services. We propose a distributed ontology for a meaningful organization of and efficient access to Web databases. Next, we dedicate most of our work on presenting a comprehensive query infrastructure for the emerging concept of Web services. The core of this query infrastructure is to enable the efficient delivery of Web services based on the concept of Quality of Web Service. Treating Web services as first class objects is a fundame

Abstract:

<p><p>To be a market leader, low cost and responsiveness are the key success factors. Logistics activities create high cost reducing competitiveness of the company, especially for the remote production base. Thus, logistics activities which are delivery planning, freight forwarder and delivery mode selection must be optimized. The focusing area of this paper is inbound logistics due to its big proportion in the total cost and involvement with several stakeholders. The optimization theory and Microsoft Excel’s Solver is used to create the standard optimization tools since it is an efficient and

Abstract:

In this dissertation, we elaborate on the inherent risks and uncertainties in power systems and associated industries, and develop practical solution methods to eliminate their adverse effects. our research agenda consists of practice-driven problems in different stages of power generation as follows. (1) Affordable fuel procurement through developing a comprehensive fuel supply chain design and operations planning system for electricity generation companies, (2) reliable electricity generation through incorporating dynamic asset rating concept in the unit commitment problem, and (3) efficient

Abstract:

In this paper we propose an ACO algorithm to optimize the total costs associated with the pickup and delivery of full truckloads under time window constraints in a hub network. We perform a thorough technical analysis of the ACO by comparing different pheromone decoding schemes, different visibility information and various population sizes. Furthermore we propose a post-optimization technique to improve the solutions. Our results show that appropriate data structures significantly improve the solution quality.<br>Series: Working Papers SFB "Adaptive Information Systems and Modelling in Economi
