In this paper, a new Simulation-Based Optimization Model (SBO-Model) is proposed to solve
scheduling problem in stochastic multimodal freight transportation systems. The model is …

Dynamics in product quality complicate the design of logistics networks for perishable
products, like flowers and other agricultural products. Complications especially arise when …

This paper presents a strategic model for port-hinterland freight distribution networks. The
approach utilizes a combination of a multi-objective optimization model to estimate locations …

This paper examines a problem related to dispatching materials to spreaders in coal (lignite)
mines operated under the paradigm of continuously excavated material flow. In the …

Modern cities are currently facing rapid urban growth and struggle to maintain a sustainable
development. In this context,“eco-neighbourhoods” became the perfect place for testing new …

The practice of DES experimentation has not been rigorously assessed in over a decade.
Past studies of DES practice report little transfer of experimentation theory into real-world …

The interconnectedness of different actors in the global freight transportation industry has
rendered such a system as a large complex system where different sub-systems are …

Swarms of cyber-physical systems can be used to tackle many challenges that traditional
multi-robot systems fail to address. In particular, the self-organizing nature of swarms …

This overview is a recent literature on simulation-based multi-objective evolutionary
algorithms (SMOEAs) capable of handling stochastic multiple objective functions. Special …

Every dissertation has a story, not just the one that is formally and systematically laid out
within the dissertation itself but also that which reflects the story of its author. This …
