A new non-stationary, high-order sequential simulation method is presented herein, aiming to accommodate complex curvilinear patterns and high-order spatia...

Over the last decade, geological uncertainty, its effects on long-term mine planning and methods for related risk management have been studied. However, th...

A mining complex can include multiple mines, stockpiles, waste dumps and processing facilities. Traditional optimization approaches are often based on sequ...

High-order sequential simulation methods have been developped as an alternative to existing frameworks to facilitate the modelling of spatial complexity of...

Mining complexes are value chains where extracted material from different mines is transformed into sellable products through a set of processing streams. ...

New digital technologies including the development of advanced sensors and monitoring devices have enabled a mining complex to acquire new information abou...

Facility networks can be disrupted by, for example, power outages, poor weather conditions, or natural disasters, and the probabilities of these events may b...

Nous examinons le problème de la gestion efficace d’une pêcherie où des externalités de pollution sont présentes. Le modèle bionomique de pêche en libre accè...

In the recent years, the development of new algorithms for multiobjective optimization has considerably grown. A large number of performance indicators has...

A hyper-heuristic refers to a search method or a learning mechanism for selecting or generating heuristics to solve computational search problems. Operat...

In this paper, we develop algorithmic approaches for a recently defined class of games, the integer programming games. Two general methods to approximate an...

In this paper we tackle the problem of eNodeB failure detection in LTE networks using Binary Classification techniques under smart-cities Machine-to-Machine ...

Dans cet article, nous étudions le problème du partage de responsabilités dans la récupération de produits usés et son lien avec la conception d’une réglemen...

The optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) problem is an alternating current optimal power flow (ACOPF) problem where discrete control devices for regulating...

Top-tier customers -that is, those 20% of customers that typically bring in 80% of all profits- are extremely valuable to companies. In the many instances ...

The primal adjacency-based algorithm and the multi-directional dynamic programming algorithm are two exact methods that have recently been developed to effic...
