Multiple Robot Boundary Tracking with Phase and Workload Balancing
… each allocated to a particular robot such that workload is balanced across the robots. Also, to minimize the time between sampling local areas of the boundary edge, it is desirable to minimize the difference between each robot’s progression (i.e. phase) along its allocated sub segment of the …

Improvement of Work Process Performance with Task Assignments and Mental Workload Balancing
… may result in an uneven and ineffective workload distribution among them. Likewise, an even workload distribution without considering the employee's qualifications may cause unproductive employee-task matching that results in low performance of employees. This trade-off is even more …

A Work-Stealing For Dynamic Workload Balancing On CPU-GPU Heterogeneous Computing Platforms
<p>Although many general purpose workloads have been accelerated on graphical processing units (gpus) over the last decade, other applications whose runtime behaviors are dynamic and irregular such as ones based on trees and graphs have suffered from serious workload imbalance problem caused by …

MPI-based scalable computing platform for parallel numerical application
… of challenges in dealing with data partitioning, workload balancing, data dependencies, and synchronization. Many numerical applications share the need for an underlying parallel framework for parallelization on multi-core/multi-machine hardware. In this thesis, a computing platform for parallel …

A SPECIAL FACILITY LOCATION PROBLEM APPLICABLE TO THE POSTAL SERVICE NETWORK OPTIMAL DESIGN
… concave component. In addition, there is a workload balancing requirement among all facilities for which an appropriate trade-off should be handled. We introduce the problem background, explain the simplifications needed, formulate the models, and explore some mathematical properties of the …

An application of Value Stream Mapping to reduce lead time and WIP in a make-to-order manufacturing line
… and pressure testing. Assembly cell concept, workload balancing and FIFO lanes were proposed countermeasures or improvements to address the capacity shortfall. A decrease of 27% in manufacturing lead time was projected if these improvements were made. In addition, the capacity analysis …

Efficient yard storage in transshipment container hub ports
… to reduce the reshuffling level and a high-low workload balancing protocol is used to reduce the traffic congestion. Second, two simulation models are built to verify the effectiveness of the docking station concept for the import container blocks, in which the yard blocks for import containers …

Effective incorporation of FPGA based processing in server architectures
… of resource utilisation via parallel workload balancing, the work is able to more fairly evaluate heterogeneous accelerators and show that FPGAs are capable of achieving better energy efficiency without requiring FPGA-specific language and skills. <br/><br/>Finally, the work targets …

Optimizing paint blocking in an automobile assembly line : an application of specialized TSP's
… typically sequence vehicle production based on workload balancing factors, with little consideration of vehicle colors. The resulting sequence usually has a small average paint block size. Because automobile manufacturers use expensive and sometimes pollutant chemicals to clean out old paint at …

Efficient Computation of Map-scale Continuous Mutual Information on Chip in Real Time
… to counter the recursive algorithm, and workload balancing and numerical approximations to reduce latency and energy consumption. We demonstrate this optimized architecture on a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) implementation, which can compute MI for all cells in an entire 201-by-201 …

Management and routing algorithms for ad-hoc and sensor networks
… improvement on energy consumption and a workload balancing among sensors (number of messages routed by each node). Finally, thanks to the replications, whose number can be arbitrarily chosen, the resulting sensor network can face sensors disconnections/connections, due to failures of …

Mathematical Programming and Heuristic Approaches for Three Novel Vehicle Routing Problems
… in terms of optimality gap, runtime, and workload balancing. Third, we consider mail deliveries. To reduce the fleet size and carbon emissions of a postal service, we allow two mail carriers per truck. We call this problem the paired mail carrier problem (PMCP). Our objective is to …

Analyzing the effects of dynamic task allocation on human-automation system performance
… and safety of systems while reducing operator workload. However, too much automation can lead to overtrust, complacency, and a decrease in operator situation awareness. In an attempt to prevent these from occurring, the operator and the automation often share responsibility for performing …

Computational Studies in Multi-Criteria Scheduling and Optimization
… time. Chapter 2 addresses a grant administration workload-to-staff assignment problem that occurs in the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs at land-grant universities. We identify the optimal workload assignment plan which differs considerably due to multiple reassignments from the current …
