Optimizing the schedule of thermal generators is probably the most important task when the
operation of power systems is managed. This issue is known as the unit commitment …

Efficient and cost-effective coordination of online generation facilities is essential to the
reliable operation multi-area power system (PS) especially in a deregulated environment …

Recycling, reusing, and remanufacturing of end-of-life (EOL) products have been receiving
increasing attention. They effectively preserve the ecological environment and promote the …

Several metaheuristic optimization algorithms have been developed to solve the real-world
problems recently. This paper proposes a novel metaheuristic algorithm named Henry gas …

Group scheduling problems have attracted much attention owing to their many practical
applications. This work proposes a new bi-objective serial-batch group scheduling problem …

A gravitational search algorithm (GSA) uses gravitational force among individuals to evolve
population. Though GSA is an effective population-based algorithm, it exhibits low search …

Width deviation is an important metric for evaluating the quality of a hot-rolled strip in steel
production systems. This paper considers a width deviation prediction problem and …

Disassembly sequencing is important for remanufacturing and recycling used or discarded
products. AND/OR graphs (AOGs) have been applied to describe practical disassembly …

Wire rod and bar rolling is an important batch production process in steel production
systems. A scheduling problem originated from this process is studied in this work by …

Industrial products' reuse, recovery, and recycling are very important due to the exhaustion
of ecological resources. Effective product disassembly planning methods can improve the …
