The leading approach to the simplex method, a widely used technique for balancing complex logistical constraints, can’t get ...

Determining the least expensive path for a new subway line underneath a metropolis like New York City is a colossal planning challenge—involving thousands of potential routes through hundreds of city ...

ABSTRACT: The lack of semantic parts, increasing the number of Web services in the Web, and syntactic-based search operation are the main problems of current Web service technologies, these factors ...

The assignment problem is formulated and briefly discussed. An efficient algorithm for its solution is presented in ALGOL code. An empirical relation between solution time and the size of the problem ...

You probably don’t need more time. By Jancee Dunn When I look back on all the major decisions I’ve dithered over, I could scream. It took me a decade to commit to becoming a parent. I wavered for a ...

Abstract: The growth of international trade has accelerated the development of waterway transportation, thereby increasing the demand for the construction of container terminals. Optimizing the Berth ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...

Abstract: In recent decades, metaheuristic algorithms have emerged as indispensable tools for addressing complex optimization challenges, particularly in several engineering fields, where NP-hard ...
