Norway has a high degree of digitalisation. In the public sector, there is a long tradition of automation of parts of case management. This includes automation of cases where a public sector body makes a so-called individual administrative decision, that is, a decision made in the exercise of...

The article dwells upon the dynamic and stochastic mathematical models of organizational development and changes, as well as to the algorithms for their optimization. The adjustment of the intensity of the changes can be achieved through the efficient integration between the departments in...

This study aims to discuss the solution methodology for a closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) network that includes the collection of used products as well as distribution of the new products. This supply chain is presented on behalf of the problems that can be solved by the proposed meta-heuristic...

Purpose: The increase in social awareness, politics and environmental regulation, the scarcity of raw materials and the desired "green" image, are some of the reasons that lead companies to decide for implement processes of Reverse Logistics (RL). At the time when incorporate new RL processes as...

Due to the enormous demand for crude oil, the selection of appropriate and economical techniques to enhance the oil recovery are always considered as the major concerns in reservoir developments. Polymer flooding is considered as one of the chemical enhanced oil recovery techniques especially...

Prompted by a real-life observation in the UK retail market, a two-player Prisoners' Dilemma model of an alliance between two firms is adapted to include the response of a rival firm, resulting in a version of a three-player Prisoners' Dilemma. We use this to analyse the impact on the stability...

A cutting stock problem is one of the main and classical problems in operations research that is modeled as LP problem. Because of its NP-hard nature, finding an optimal solution in reasonable time is extremely difficult and at least non-economical. In this paper, two meta-heuristic algorithms,...
