  Centralized allocation of human resources: an application to public schools
López-Torres L., Prior D. Computers and Operations Research 73(C): 104-114, 2016.  Type: Article

Workforce planning--the allocation of human resources to available projects/task units--is a problem that has a direct impact on the financial bottom line of an organization. Whether the organization is a small servic...

  Community-based collaborative information system for emergency management
Li J., Li Q., Liu C., Ullah Khan S., Ghani N. Computers and Operations Research 42116-124, 2014.  Type: Article

Recognizing that information management underpins efficient decision making in disaster situations, the authors “propose a strategy to form a community-based virtual database” to facilitate information sharing among...

  Characterizing multi-event disaster resilience
Zobel C., Khansa L. Computers and Operations Research 4283-94, 2014.  Type: Article

Earlier work by the first author of this paper focused on predicting resilience in single-event disasters. Building on that earlier work, this paper considers the resilience of systems in the context of disasters involving multiple ove...

  A role-oriented service system architecture for enterprise process collaboration
Tan W., Li L., Xu W., Yang F., Jiang C., Yang L., Choi J. Computers and Operations Research 39(8): 1893-1900, 2012.  Type: Article

I found this research report disappointing and superfluous. It rather reminds me of a midterm graduate or internal working paper. Having been attracted by the interesting title, I found myself wondering why this collective of seven aut...

  A novel threshold accepting meta-heuristic for the job-shop scheduling problem
Lee D., Vassiliadis V., Park J. Computers and Operations Research 31(13): 2199-2213, 2004.  Type: Article

This paper describes a new list-based threshold algorithm (LBTA) for the job shop scheduling problem. The algorithm belongs to the family of job shop scheduling algorithms that start with a feasible solution, and, through a series of s...

  A neural network model with bounded-weights for pattern classification
Liao Y., Fang S., Nuttle H. Computers and Operations Research 31(9): 1411-1426, 2004.  Type: Article

This paper presents theoretical and experimental results on a proposed new neural network model, combining the concepts of multi-layer perceptron (MLP), radial basis functions (RBF), and support vector machines (SVM). The authors stron...

  Multilayer neural networks: an experimental evaluation of on-line training methods
Martí R., El-Fallahi A. Computers and Operations Research 31(9): 1491-1513, 2004.  Type: Article

This paper develops a comparative computational study of 12 well-known methods for neural network training, and proposes new training methods, based on the taboo search methodology, and on a filtered multi-start possible framework that...

  Cycling in linear programming problems
Gass S., Vinjamuri S. Computers and Operations Research 31(2): 303-311, 2004.  Type: Article

The simplex method, developed by G.B. Dantzig in 1947, is routinely used (together with interior point methods) to solve linear programming problems. In this paper, the authors analyze a number of linear programming problems that are k...

  Optimal bandwidth allocation for bandwidth adaptation in wireless multimedia networks
Ahn K., Kim S. Computers and Operations Research 30(13): 1917-1929, 2003.  Type: Article

An optimal bandwidth allocation scheme for wireless multimedia networks is presented in this paper. The concept on which the scheme is based is bandwidth adaptation, which allocates terminated bandwidth to ongoing calls. When enough ba...
