This paper presents a framework for finding optimal modules in a delayed product differentiation scenario. Historical product sales data is utilized to estimate demand probability and customer preferences. Then this information is used by a multiple-objective optimization model to form modules....

We present a model for scheduling power generation at a wind farm, and introduce a particle swarm optimization algorithm with a small world network structure to solve the model. The solution generated by the algorithm defines the operational status of wind turbines for a scheduling horizon...
