Résumé :

Cette thèse présente les résultats d’un projet de recherche visant l’optimisation du processus d’ordonnancement d’activités au sein d’un laboratoire de recherche du Commissariat à l’Énergie Atomique et aux Énergies Alternatives (CEA). Pour aborder ce problème, nous décomposons chaque activité en un ensemble de tâches élémentaires pour appliquer des méthodes classiques d’ordonnancement. Nous modélisons le problème d’ordonnancement du laboratoire comme une version étendue du problème de gestion de projet multi-compétences (Multi-Skill Project Scheduling Problem ou MSPSP). En première approche, n

Résumé :

A hospital consists of a number of wards, units and departments that provide a variety of medical services and interact on a day-to-day basis. Nearly every department within a hospital schedules patients for the operating theatre (OT) and most wards receive patients from the OT following post-operative recovery. Because of the interrelationships between units, disruptions and cancellations within the OT can have a flow-on effect to the rest of the hospital. This often results in dissatisfied patients, nurses and doctors, escalating waiting lists, inefficient resource usage and undesirable wait

Résumé :

Abstract The framing into demand driven operations is because of the operations research modelling approach. The modelling approach requires continuous regressors and an independent response factor. The demand as an operating factor is considered as independent response factor in relation to the continuous regressors. The method validation is made along several longitudinal case studies to cover local, global and international industrial operations. The examined operational scope is from continuous operations to one-off production. Concerning scheduling, these examined demand driven, industria

Résumé :

Technical advances in the past decade have enabled the development of very fast but expensive component placement machines for the production of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). However, when these fast machines have to assemble small volumes of many different types of circuit boards, the machine set-up time becomes much more important than the assembly rate of each board. In order to minimize this set up time, we must try to solve the set-up/sequencing decision problem according to either the MCS (Minimizing Component Switches) or MSI (Minimizing Switching Instants) performance criterion, or bo

Résumé :

The nonstationary Erlang loss model is a queueing system consisting of a finite number of servers and no waiting room with a nonstationary arrival process or a time-dependent service rate. The Erlang loss model is commonly used to model and evaluate many communication systems. Often, these types of service systems encounter a change in the arrival rate over time while the service rate remains either constant or changes very little over time. In view of this, the focus in this research is the nonstationary Erlang loss queues and network with time-dependent arrival rate and constant service rate

Optimizing the layout of stored data using view selection has a direct impact on the performance of the entire database system.

Résumé :

Phylogenetics is the study of evolutionary relations between different organisms. Phylogenetic trees are the representations of these relations. Researchers have been working on finding fast and systematic approaches to reconstruct phylogenetic trees from observed data for over 40 years. It has been shown that, given a certain criterion to evaluate each tree, finding the best fitted phylogenetic trees among all possible trees is an NP-hard problem. In this study, we focus on the topology searching techniques for the maximum-parsimony and maximum-likelihood phylogeny inference. We proposed two

Résumé :

This thesis presents a formal study of the long-term spatial load forecasting problem: given small area based electric load history of the service territory, current and future land use information, return forecast load of the next 20 years. A hierarchical S-curve trending method is developed to conduct the basic forecast. Due to uncertainties of the electric load data, the results from the computerized program may conflict with the nature of the load growth. Sometimes, the computerized program is not aware of the local development because the land use data lacks such information. A human-mach

Résumé :

The routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) problem is essential for achieving efficient performance in wavelength-routed optical networks. For a network without wavelength conversion capabilities, the RWA problem consists of selecting an appropriate path and wavelength for each connection request while ensuring that paths that share common links are not assigned the same wavelength. The purpose of this research is to develop efficient adaptive methods for routing and wavelength assignment in wavelength-routed optical networks with dynamic traffic. The proposed methods utilize soft computing t

Résumé :

The purpose of this paper is to suggest an algorithm by which mica motes can organize themselves into a network to relay packets as quickly as possible under energy constraints from environmental harvesting. This problem is part of a larger project to develop a means to monitor red wolves using a mica mote network. The network has three parts: sensor motes attached to collars on the wolves, a base station or base stations that receive packets and display them in useable form for scientists and relay motes that forward packets from the sensor motes to a base station. The proposed algorithm adap
