Work has also been initiated on local access networks. This project concerns optimal scheduling of jobs on a couple of machines in a workshop or a flowshop. The objective is to minimise work in progress. Jobs may have transport batches smaller than production batches. Jobs also have set-up times.
Restrictions are available machine time and available work force.
This project concerns the optimisation of robot arm movements to pick up a piece to be mounted and position this piece at the mounting place. The robot in question is a new conceptual machine. We expect to utilise descent methods for controlled differential equations. This project concerns the optimal expansion of telecom networks in the face of uncertainties in demand and technology. The techniques used are of the stochastic programming type.
