The increase of energy costs specially in manufacturing system encourages researchers to
pay more attention to energy management in different ways. This paper investigates a non …

This paper proposes a new demand response scheduling framework for an array of
households, which are grouped into different categories based on socio-economic factors …

We consider a two-machine permutation flow shop scheduling problem to minimise the total
electricity cost of processing jobs under time-of-use electricity tariffs. We formulate the …

The recent proposed solutions for demand side energy management leverage the two-way
communication infrastructure provided by modern smart-meters and sharing the usage …

Existing electrical grid systems have a limited amount of real-time monitoring and controlling
capabilities of energy generation and consumption facilities, which trigger various technical …

We consider a scheduling problem that abstracts a model of demand response
management in a smart grid. We investigate the problem with a set of unrelated machines …

In the Demand Strip Packing problem (DSP), we are given a time interval and a collection of
tasks, each characterized by a processing time and a demand for a given resource (such as …

In this paper, we reconsider an offline load-balancing problem with unit-time jobs that
require one unit from a common resource throughout their execution. In the unit-time case …

We study a scheduling problem arising in demand response management in smart grid.
Consumers send in power requests with a flexible feasible time interval during which their …

The suffix array is one of the most prevalent data structures for string indexing; it stores the
lexicographically sorted list of suffixes of a given string. Its practical advantage compared to …
