The wine industry faces a highly competitive environment, making cost-effective
management of the wine supply chain essential. Literature has shown that this objective can …

Because of its importance in logistics costs, transportation is usually seen as the primal
activity for which horizontal collaboration should be pursued. Yet, just a few cases are …

Horizontal collaboration is a strategy that has increasingly been used for improving supply
chain operations. In this paper, we analyze the benefits of using a collaborative approach …

Unequal distribution of single-phase customers across three phases in low-voltage
distribution networks and penetration of electric vehicles, can indeed lead to several …

Distributed constraint optimization problems (DCOPs) are a fundamental framework for
modeling multi-agent systems (MAS) where agents coordinate their decision-making to …

A novel active disturbance rejection control method based on genetic algorithm was
proposed for brushless DC motor. Firstly, the mathematical model of the control method was …

A discrete recent past-position updating strategy based m-ary discrete particle swarm
optimization (MDPSO-DRPPUS) algorithm was proposed for the problem of large search …

In contexts involving multiple agents (players), determining how they can cooperate through
the formation of coalitions and how they can share surplus benefits coming from the …

In the context of the circular economy, we conceived a new decision support system. Its goal
is to design new products from highly variable post-used components. This system is open …

This thesis studies combinatorial objects, with both an algorithmic and a combinatorial point
of view. In the combinatorial part, we take care first, the enumeration of Catalan words …
