Surface Electromyography (sEMG) is a technique for measuring muscle activity by recording electrical signals from the surface of the body. It is widely used in fields such as medical diagnosis, human-computer interaction, and sports injury rehabilitation. The detection of the onset and offset of...

In manual order picking systems, order pickers walk or drive through a distribution warehouse in order to collect items which are requested by (internal or external) customers. In order to perform these operations effciently, it is usually required that customer orders are combined into (more...

A mixed-model assembly line enables the joint production of dierent models of a common base product in intermixed model sequence (lot size one). Previous approaches for the short-term planning task of model sequencing either aim at minimizing work overload (mixed-model sequencing and car...

Scientific literature is prolific both on exact and on heuristic solution methods developed to solve optimization problems. Although the former methods have an indisputable theoretical value when it comes to solve large realistic combinatorial optimization problems they are usually associated...

In this paper we propose a metaheuristic to solve a new version of the Maximum Capture Problem. In the original MCP, market capture is obtained by lower traveling distances or lower traveling time, in this new version not only the traveling time but also the waiting time will affect the market...
