In this study, a further extension of the vehicle routing problem with pickup and delivery (VRPPD) is considered. The VRPPD problem is seen in many practical applications as logistic, distribution and transportation. However, a formal definition of the VRPPD cannot fully represent the real-life daily macro routing problem. For this reason, firstly, a new model of the very close to real-life problem is defined. Secondly, a novel heuristic algorithm with a new objective function is proposed to solve the daily macro routing problem. The proposed nature-inspired algorithm called as Heuristic Bubble Algorithm (HBA) is suitable for the proposed problem because of its particular new operators and fast response. The Matlab simulation results motivate that the proposed model and HBA is capable of solving real-life macro routing problems.

Several Approaches have been proposed so far to optimize traffic lights timing of traffic lights based on different technologies such as wireless sensor networks, fuzzy-neural, agents, fuzzy-genetic algorithm, dynamic programming, petri-nets and recently, game theory. In this paper, we propose a new approach based on game theory. The Simulation results showed that the proposed scheme can improve the traffic significantly.

Accurate motion monitoring can provide detailed information through qualitative and quantitative analysis of patient movements in the field of rehabilitation and thus can become an effective tool set for treatment of motion problems. Normally patients are doing rehabilitation training programs under the guidance of their supervisor only during some small fragment (1-2 hours) of the day. Remote motion monitoring can enable skilled medical staff to monitor closely patient's training activities at home during the whole day, thus multi-part (morning, afternoon, evening) training sessions can be included easily into the daily life and in certain cases (e.g.: stroke rehabilitation) this can enhance the healing process significantly and can lead to better restoration results. Accurate movement/motion monitoring can enable medical experts to introduce individual (patient specific) rehabilitation programs, and assess the value of the training program at any time with high granularity level. The MOVANDIS framework is a novel, generic, vendor independent motion data collector and movement visualizer software solution. This paper focuses mainly its internal architecture, and its usage scenarios within the field of telerehabilitation.

Road transport has become one of the most used types of transport currently, issue that has generated many problems as congestion, pollution and accidents. For these reasons, the related studies of the traffic optimization, have known a great development. Due to the complexity of traffic, most of the performed studies have used simulation models. In this paper, the authors propose a new analytical model to determine the quality factor used in transport network. The model takes into account both the street configuration: lanes, width of lanes and traffic light in system present or absent; and the dynamic component that specifies a particular existing traffic: number of vehicles, the length of time of crossing the intersection. The result of the modeling is a numerical value that describes the quality of streets. This factor is used to characterize the global traffic in the intersection and also to optimize traffic in a structure of the interconnected intersections. The use of this model of quality factor helps to unify the elements of road traffic system with classical theory of queuing network. The novelty of this model is to incorporate the main features present in static and dynamic traffic. It uses the classical theory of queuing networks applied in traffic modeling.

As information technology (IT) is getting more and more widely applied to corporate operation and management, it has become a critical problem how to make IT application more effective in corporate management and decision-making processes. Recently, the rapid development of IT outsourcing practice has provided multiple choices for enterprises. However, as for companies themselves, it remains quite a tough problem to what extent they should outsource the IT products and services they need. This paper is aimed at exploiting the impact of IT outsourcing on corporate competence from the perspective of the corporate IT intensity so as to make right choices on IT outsourcing.

The paper proposes an approach for predicting application upgrade time that is being upgraded from one version to another. The focus is primarily concentrated on applications with upgrades consisting mainly of upgrading the relational database. Chosen application databases have the same schema but the content of tables varies. Data from the upgrades are processed and the proposed solution predicting duration of upgrade for the database which is set to be upgraded provides an estimation whose accuracy is dependent on the number of performed upgrades. The solution is demonstrated on particular enterprise application.

This paper introduces a method to efficiently compute global motion plans for robotic manipulators in dynamically changing environments. An offline computation step is used to construct a sparse roadmap to approximate the configuration space of the manipulator in an empty environment. When the robot is running, a representation of the environment to keep track of the robot's free workspace is maintained as sensor updates are received. The maintained representation of the free workspace is used in conjunction with the data computed offline to quickly compute good quality global motion plans.

In hemodialysis machines peristaltic pumps are responsible for the transfer of fluids. The main characteristic of these pumps is that they can transport the solutions with significant error. That depends on the tube segment deviation caused through the production. Due to the fact that the medical fluid represents sometimes drugs and in the same time it is required to control the fluid balance of the patient, it is important to transfer these fluids as accurate as possible. The goal of the paper is to design a controller that satisfies the mentioned requirements. First, the system identification is realized by classical moving average method (ARX), followed by the design of two controllers: a classical PID one and a fuzzy controller. After comparing their simulation results, the most preferable one was implemented in practice. Real simulation results of the implemented controller end the paper.

Parallel computing paradigms are of high interest because parallel computers are everywhere. In this paper connections of two parallel computing paradigms, namely interval-valued computing and cellular automata are shown. The interval-valued paradigm is a new computing paradigm that is universal and in this framework hard problems can be solved efficiently. One-dimensional cellular automata are also universal computing models that uses a high level of parallelism. We show that interval-valued computing can simulate cellular automata and also interval-valued computing can be simulated by cellular automata.

It is no doubt that assembling processes play a significant role in manufacturing systems and, therefore, their optimization is an important task in scientific as well as technical communities. One of the major challenges at the early configuration design stage is to make a decision about a suitable assembly structure. An experimental approach for assessing the structural complexity of supply chain networks is presented in this paper. Its main scope is to devise a methodology that can provide practical insights and implications in designing the assembly supply chain structural models.
