The analysis of patient pathways from event log is gaining importance in the field of medical information. It provides deep insights about the care process and the ways to improve it. This paper combines optimization and process mining. A new integer linear programming model is proposed to discover the care process at a macroscopic scale from a large-size database. When dealing with health-care data, the main challenge to overcome is the considerable variability of patients' behaviors. An original size constraint and an aggregation method are used to create simple but significant process models. The results of a case study on heart failures confirm the ability of the approach to reveal the process information behind the data.

clustering is a hierarchical method to data transmission in wireless sensor networks, which has a considerable effect on energy conservation. A balanced and efficient clustering has an important role in these networks. This paper discusses an optimal clustering method in wireless sensor network. Firstly, by considering energy and distance parameters, we model the clustering problem using two techniques, integer linear programming and linearprogramming. Then we propose a clustering algorithm based on the optimal selected cluster heads. Experimental results shown that linearprogramming technique has better performance in energy consumption and network lifetime in comparison to the integer linear programming technique.

integer linear programming is a popular method of generating school timetables. Although computationally simpler, school timetabling is less developed area than university timetabling, because the models which resolve timetabling problems proposed thus far have been adjusted to individual cases differing from country to country. A proposed model meets most of constraints appeared in different school timetabling systems.

Unlike conventional beams, which are cast in the construction site, precast beams are cast in a production line in a beam factory. Their use may considerably reduce the completion time of construction projects, making them attractive to public housing. A key factor for the success of their use is the ability of efficiently producing them, which depends on the quality of the production planning. The objective of this paper is to propose an integer linear programming model for the precast concrete beams production problem. It is first shown that this problem is isomorphic to the well-known multiperiod cutting stock problem. The objective function is the minimization of the production loss of a production order, subject to the available capacity of forms used to cast the beams. A case study is presented with data of a real scale instance, so as to demonstrate the applicability of the model in industrial settings. The proposed model was implemented and ran on the CPLEX solver, which reached an optimal solution within an acceptable running time. The results indicate that significant gains may be achieved in terms of reduction of planning time through the application of the proposed model. (C) 2015 American Society of Civil Engineers.

Context: The Next Release Problem involves determining the set of requirements to implement in the next release of a software project. When the problem was first formulated in 2001, integer linear programming, an exact method, was found to be impractical because of large execution times. Since then, the problem has mainly been addressed by employing metaheuristic techniques. Objective: In this paper, we investigate if the single-objective and hi-objective Next Release Problem can be solved exactly and how to better approximate the results when exact resolution is costly. Methods: We revisit integer linear programming for the single-objective version of the problem. In addition, we integrate it within the Epsilon-constraint method to address the bi-objective problem. We also investigate how the Pareto front of the bi-objective problem can be approximated through an anytime deterministic integer linear programming-based algorithm when results are required within strict run-time constraints. Comparisons are carried out against NSGA-II. Experiments are performed on a combination of synthetic and real-world datasets. Findings: We show that a modern integer linear programming solver is now a viable method for this problem. Large single objective instances and small hi-objective instances can be solved exactly very quickly. On large bi-objective instances, execution times can be significant when calculating the complete Pareto front. However, good approximations can be found effectively. Conclusion: This study suggests that (1) approximation algorithms can be discarded in favor of the exact method for the single-objective instances and small bi-objective instances, (2) the integer linear programming-based approximate algorithm outperforms the NSGA-II genetic approach on large hi-objective instances, and (3) the run times for both methods are low enough to be used in real-world situations.

This paper takes the operational test credibility as the analysis object, designs multi-stage test patterns through quantitative decision analysis, thus maximizes the system test credibility. A dynamic programming based model for the credibility of equipment operational test is established. In addition, a method based on the 0-1 integer linear programming is also used and transformed to fit for the minimum path problem. The experimental results indicate that the methods proposed by this paper are effective and advanced.
