Additionally, all of these\nproblems have to be dealt   with in an integrated systems\nframework. Several new topics have recently   appeared in the\nscientific literature which now attract the interest        of\noperations researchers. These include distributed                        real-time\nscheduling, hierarchical and heterarchical control                systems,\nintegrated algorithms for design, process planning,                and\nequipment level programming, material handling in a finite\ncapacity resource environment, and designing and\nimplementing distributed data       management systems. The\ncontributions of these proceedings represent new andunique\ntheoretical developments and applications related to these\nnew   topics. They deal with modelling production structures\nand applying expert  systems or neural networks to production\nsystems. Mathematical programming, control theory,\nsimulation, genetic algorithms, tabu search, and            simulated\nannealing are applied as solutiton techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-12-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783642775390\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-642-77537-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 244cm x170cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 530\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398847787148,"sku":"9783642775390","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783642775390.jpg?v=1775816178","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783642775390","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
