The human resources represent the key performance of each component of the supply chain. In this context and in order to optimize these resources, this work deals with a problem of seafaring staff scheduling through the proposal of a mathematic formulation of this problem and an interactive decision support that is based on two approximate methods. It should be noted that the results was approved through a real data case collected from a maritime company called SONOTRAK.

Reverse logistics concept in the global scale has been already existing for about two decades. However, in Poland it is quite new one, not very popular and widespread. During the constant economy development and increasing market competition Polish enterprises are forced to seek for some modern solutions to improve their business activity and reverse logistics might be the answer for these aspirations for better performance. But the decision about reverse logistics processes implementation into practice of the company is not the easy one. During this kind of investment and after it, while maintenance, there might occur many barriers and obstacles hard to force and effective in preventing the good reverse logistics.

This paper presents a new mathematical model for the vehicle routing problem in the context of e-commerce, considering multiple types of products, vehicles, transport conditions and time windows. The main new idea is to assure the compatibility between product type and vehicle in order to satisfy transport conditions required. This problem can be defined as a Load-Specific problem. The main objective is to gain customer satisfaction by providing the right demand on time and on a good stat. To solve this model, new instances are generated and solved using Cplex 12.2.

The present study investigates the influence of hybridisation on energy consumption. Computer micro simulation modeling is used to determine the performance and fuel consumption of Toyota Prius vehicle. In this work, we have developed a micro-simulation tool which integrates microscopic models of energy consumption. First, we start by modeling microscopic behavior of vehicles where we use two microscopic models: the linear model for longitudinal moving and MOBIL (Minimizing Overall Braking Induced by Lane Changes) for lateral displacement in order to generate a real driving cycle which respects microscopic models rules. Then we implement two energy-consumption models which calculate energy consumption of the REV (hybrid electric vehicle) Toyota Prius vehicle and classical vehicle. The principal purposes are studying the hybridization's effects on fuel consumption for a real driving cycle.

The optimization of the whole supply chain passes inevitably by better mastery of flow, especially the couple physical-informational flows. To do this, in this paper we present an approach for tracking and tracing flows of supply chain. Thus, we propose a data modeling for product traceability in the context of overall supply chain. Then, we present our approach to the integration of our traceability data based on the concept of semantic web services. Results are presented in the form of new ontologies for the description of traceability web services as well as for the actors of supply chain.

In recent years, research in Supply Chain Management has experienced rapid progress and diversity in tools used by researchers. Due to lack of literature on SCM strategies in Morocco, we seek to study Moroccan firm's strategies in SCM using qualitative approach. This paper aims to offer understanding of the role of logistics in Moroccan companies. Thus, we have carried out a survey targeting several sectors considered as the most representative in Moroccan economy, in order to analyze their logistics function and to specify the degree of its importance in their strategic plans.

Query analysis is an important phase in image retrieval process especially for ambiguous queries. This paper describes a query analysis process that manages textual and visual queries. The main idea is to select the most appropriate concepts. For the textual part, we extract keywords. Then, we deduce the most relevant concepts related to such keyword by performing a semantic similarity computing based on ontology structure. A similar process is carried out on the visual part based on the associated annotation. The concept set deduced from each part are then merged. Finally, based on a semantic inter-concept graph, we attempt to refine the query by expanding or reweighting the concepts list. Our approach is evaluated in ImagCLEF2012 benchmark. The experiments show encouraging results.

This paper deals with a developed digital control procedure used to regulate a halogen lamp. The digital process allowing the extraction of spectral irradiance characteristics was presented. Power consumption progress was given to determine the spectral intensity of 250W halogen lamp. To obtain these proprieties we use PIC18F family's microcontroller as a manager to operate the lamp in the appropriate conditions. The regulation of irradiance intensity was given in optimized procedure of current or voltage developed in embedded system.

Recently, there has been increasing interest in designing autonomous mobile robots able to navigate in different types of environment and automatically avoid collisions with obstacles in their paths. In particular intelligent planning techniques have shown potential in controlling robotic fields thanks to their stability of treatment and their ability to approximate nonlinear and complex functions. In this paper, we present a path planning algorithm that allows wheeled robot to explore unknown environment. The robot would avoid collision and follow the best and shortest path towards it target. Our approach consists of developing localization algorithm for the robot in Cartesian frame, we define the position of robot for making the robot autonomous and able to predict its position regarding to the goal. Theoretical results of developed algorithm are used to generate the desirable properties of intelligent techniques and neural network has been viewed as a powerful alternative to implementation of mathematical problem. We use tow recurrent neural networks connected in series for intelligent navigation of the robot.

Face increasingly complex challenges, most large companies use nowadays a hybrid structure that combines characteristics of various structural forms in order to have a greater flexibility required in rapidly changing environments. This study proposes a new firm's organizational structure, inspired from the nervous system functioning. Principally, four points are discussed in this paper: organizational adaptability to the rapidly changing environment, decision making, controls and information sharing. Findings are very interesting and seem in concordance with new challenges and trends.
