Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThree Algorithms for Flexible Flow-shop SchedulingTzung-Pei Hong, Pei-Ying Huang, Gwoboa Horng, Chan-Lon WangScheduling is an important process widely used in manufacturing, production, management, computer science, and so on. Appropriate scheduling can reduce material handling costs and time. Finding good schedules for given sets of jobs can thus help factory supervisors effectively control job flows and provide solutions for job sequencing. In simple flow shop problems, each machine operation center includes just one … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 6,969 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBoeing's Autonomous Military AircraftRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuBoeing will build a self-propelled military aircraft to accompany US combat aircraft during missions. Boeing's autonomous airplane will achieve superior flying performance to those pilots even with the most modern aircraft. If technology advances and becomes more accessible to civilians, why would not this happen in the military domain?
