Towards a sustainable supply chain on plastic waste management : a multi-criteria optimization approach

François Maréchal, Ivan Daniel Kantor, Rafael Amorim Leandro De Castro Amoedo, Diya Achi

Municipal solid waste and waste plastics are currently perceived as an environmental threat. Thermovalorization and recycling are the primary technologies used for disposal, with re- searchers and practitioners advocating for one or the other, but far from ...

Transportable Versus Centralized Recycling Plant: Environmental and Cost Assessment

The purpose of the study is to determine the environmental and economic balance between the collection of wastes and their transport to a centralized recycling plant versus the displacement of a recycling plant near the waste source locations. Two systems ...

A general framework for routing problems with stochastic demands

Michel Bierlaire, Sacha Varone, Mohammad Yousef Maknoon, Iliya Dimitrov Markov

We introduce a unified modeling and solution framework for various classes of rich vehicle and inventory routing problems as well as other probability-based routing problems with a time-horizon dimension. Demand is assumed to be stochastic and non-stationa ...

Creating a competing demand for waste resources: a strategy for waste minimization in Nigeria

Solid waste management in Nigeria is a social and public health concern. Waste problems are more serious in cities as the communities lead a non-indigenous lifestyle with respect to resource consumption and wastage. Nigerian municipal waste has organic bio ...

Integrating a heterogeneous fixed fleet and a flexible assignment of destination depots in the waste collection VRP with intermediate facilities

Michel Bierlaire, Sacha Varone, Iliya Dimitrov Markov

We consider a complex recyclable waste collection problem that extends the class of vehicle routing problems with intermediate facilities by integrating a heterogeneous fixed fleet and a flexible assignment of destination depots. Several additional side co ...

Performance Evaluation of Barrier Techniques for Distributed Tracing Garbage Collector

David Atienza Alonso

Currently, software engineering is becoming even more complex due to distributed computing. In this new context, portability is one of the key issues and hence a cluster-aware Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that can transparently execute Java applications in a ...
