Production planning and scheduling is one of the most important business processes that significantly influence the performance of manufacturing companies. There are many information systems supporting production planning and scheduling and some of them are based on very sophisticated planning...

The general goal of waste management is to conserve resources and avoid negative environmental impacts. This paper deals with the optimization of logistics processes at an underground waste storage site by means of solving scheduling issues and reducing setup times, with the help of a simulation...

Center pivot systems are widely used to overcome the irrigation needs of agricultural fields. In this paper, an autonomous approach is proposed in order to improve the low efficiency of irrigation by developing a system based on the water requirement of the plantations, through field data. The...

The penetration of renewable energy sources into power systems has been increasing to mitigate the concerns for the environment, global warming, and rising fuel prices. However, the variability and uncertainty of power output from renewable energy sources raise challenging issues for power...

Alternative scheme is the most important section in the environmental impact assessment (EIA). And the optimization of alternative schemes are the focus research fields in EIA. This paper define the content of alternatives of basin hydropower planning EIA (HPEIA), including the alternative...

Operation schedule for microgrids has an important role to manage the electric power supply and demand efficiently. This paper presents a problem formulation and its solution method to obtain a coordinated operation schedule of controllable components in the microgrids. In the problem...
