The problem of automatic workload leveling and balancing occurring in the maintenance and inspection section of Petroleum Company in Thailand is studied, in each year, the company receives a tremendous number of maintenance and inspection work orders regarding the gas and oil offshore platforms. Each worker is capable of doing more than one work order. Workload leveling is needed in order to distribute all works for limited number of personnel and accommodations on offshore platform. mixedintegerlinearprogramming (MILP) technique using branch and cut method is utilized for this problem.

Cellular manufacturing systems (CMS) are production systems that typically comprise a number of manufacturing cells served by a centralized material handling system. Designing such systems includes three major decisions; cell formation (CF), group layout (GL), and group scheduling (GS). Traditionally, these three decisions have been dealt with separately, which has usually lead to less than optimal system performance. In this paper, a new mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model is proposed for the integrated CF, GL and GS problem, to efficiently design and operate CMSs. The model solves the integrated problem, taking into consideration intercellular and intracellular transportation times to determine the optimal cell formation, layout of machines and schedule of parts on the machines, simultaneously. Sequence-dependent set up times are also considered in the model. The performance of the model is tested by solving problems previously introduced in the literature considering two objectives; minimizing the makespan or minimizing the mean flow time in the system. The results show that the proposed model is efficient in solving small to medium-sized problems.

In this paper, we propose a home energy management (HEM) scheme in the residential area for electricity cost and peak to average ratio (PAR) reduction. Furthermore, reduction in imported electricity from the external grid is also the objective of this study. Our proposed scheme schedules smart appliances as well as electrical vehicles (EVs) charging/discharging optimally according to the consumer preferences. Each consumer has its own grid-connected microgrid for electricity generation;which consists of wind turbine, solar panel, micro gas turbine (MGT) and energy storage system (ESS). Furthermore, the scheduling problem is mathematically formulated and solved by mixed integer linear programming (MILP). We also provide the comparison of the optimal solutions, while considering EVs with and without discharging capabilities. Findings from simulations affirm our proposed scheme in terms of above-mentioned objectives.

The optimal trajectory planning for trains under constraints and fixed maximal arrival time is considered. The variable line resistance (including variable grade profile, tunnels, and curves) and arbitrary speed restrictions are included in this approach. The objective function is a trade-off between the energy consumption and the riding comfort. First, the nonlinear train model is approximated by a piece-wise affine model. Next, the optimal control problem is formulated as a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problem, which can be solved efficiently by existing solvers. The good performance of this approach is demonstrated via a case study.

This paper proposes a novel method for determining the optimal number of renewable energy and storage components in a microgrid given typical load profiles, local pricing regime, and capital costs. Case studies using solar panels and advanced lead acid battery modules are performed under residential, commercial, and off-grid sites. Simple mixed integer linear programming (MILP) optimization problems are formulated, presented, and solved in each scenario where economic analysis highlights the utility of the proposed approach.

Optimization of charging profiles for controlled charging of electric vehicles is commonly done via mixed integer linear programming. The runtime of the optimization can represent an issue for the practical use. However, by tuning the parameter setting of the employed solver, it is possible to speed up the optimization process. The present work evaluates two popular hyperparameter tuning tools - irace (iterated racing) and SMAC (sequential model-based algorithm configuration) - for the optimization of parameters of the SCIP (Solving Constraint integer Programs) solver with the objective to speed up the solving process for four common variants of the electric vehicle charging scheduling problem. Based on the results, the most important solver parameters are identified. It is shown that by tuning a very limited number of parameters, speed-ups of 60% and more can be achieved.

Wavelength division multiplexing network is a method to improve capacity of transmission and to design the best path between the source and destination and assign the wavelength to the path for data transmission. A simple node is to be designed with mixed integer linear programming /GPLK 4.4 as the mathematical problem formulation for the single-hop and virtual hop of the network. Comparison of the topologies, INTERNET, EON and National Science Foundation Network (NSFNET) With Wavelength Division Multiplexing Conversion having different light-path flows is made for different number of nodes with capacity and average Ingress, Egress and groomed traffic. The performance metrics is determined by Wavelength of Light paths, single hop path, Number of Virtual hops, Network Congestion, Number of Wavelength per link, and Wavelength channel capacity.

In this paper, we consider the problem of localizing the subsequence in time series which contains the dynamic pattern of interest. This is motivated by brain computer interface application where we need to analyze the dynamic pattern of brain signals in response to external stimulus. We treat the localization as a binary label assignment problem and formalize a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problem. The optimal solution is obtained by minimizing a cost function associated with label assignment subject to empirical constraints induced by data acquisition process. We first experiment with synthetic data to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed MILP formulation and achieve 10.8 % improvement on F-1-score. We then experiment with electrocorticographic (ECoG) data for a classification task and achieve 8.8 % improvement on accuracy using subsequences localized by our method compared to other methods.
