Because of the complicated underwater environment, the efficiency of data transmission
from underwater sensor nodes to a sink node (SN) is faced with great challenges. Aiming at …

Abstract The Clique Partitioning Problem (CPP) seeks to decompose a set of vertices into
disjoint subsets (cliques) maximizing the sum of edge weights over all the cliques. The …

This study focuses on an unrelated parallel machine scheduling problem with machine and
job sequence-dependent setup times (UPMST) aiming to minimise the makespan. Recently …

This paper addresses the problem of minimizing the makespan on unrelated parallel
machines with sequence-dependent setup times. The term unrelated machines is used in …

Cloud computing will continue to play a critical role due to its ability to deliver various types
of on-demand information technology (IT) services according to customer needs …

This paper considers jointly scheduling the production and resource-constrained
maintenance activities in a manufacturing setting with unrelated parallel machines. In …

Since 2000, the field of machine scheduling—an integral part of computer science and
operations research—has seen significant advancements. This paper explores the dynamic …
