Scheduling operating theatres: Mixed integer programming vs. constraint programming

Tao Wang, Nadine Meskens, David Duvivier

The daily scheduling of an operating theatre is a highly constrained problem. In addition to standard scheduling constraints, many additional constraints on human and material resources encountered in real life should be taken into account. These constraints concern the priority of operations, the…

RFID interactive tabletop application with tangible objects: exploratory study to observe young children’ behaviors

Sébastien Kubicki, Marion Wolff, Sophie Lepreux, Christophe Kolski

Numerous academic and industrial studies and developments concerning interactive tabletops are paving the way for new educational applications. We have developed an interactive tabletop application equipped with RFID technology. This tabletop, called TangiSense, is based on a Multi-Agent System…

A two-stage flow shop scheduling problem with transportation considerations

Nacira Chikhi, Moncef Abbas, Rachid Benmansour, Abdelghani Bekrar, Said Hanafi

This paper considers a two-stage robotic flow shop scheduling problem of which the objective is to minimize the maximum completion time of all the jobs. The problem consists of two dedicated machines at the first stage and a single machine at the second stage. Each job is defined by two operations…

Framework for a Selection of Custom Instructions for Ht-MPSoC in Area-performance Aware Manner

Bouthaina Dammak, Mouna Baklouti, Rachid Benmansour, Smail Niar, Mohamed Abid

Using application-specific instructions for heterogeneous multiprocessor system-on-chip (Ht-MPSoC) allows to find a good performance/energy trade-off. For MPSoC architecture executing different multimedia applications, we expect a large number of potential custom instructions. In order to explore…

Simplified soft output demapper for non-binary LDPC codes

Latifa Mostari, Abdelmalik Taleb-Ahmed, Abdennacer Bounoua

Combining non-binary LDPC codes and high order constellation, namely Bit-Interleaved Coded Modula-tion (BICM), is a simple but effective way to improve the bandwidth efficiency. Since the non-binary LDPCcodes require soft decisions as the input information, the constellation has to provide soft…

Arezzo-flexible manufacturing system: A generic flexible manufacturing system shop floor emulator approach for high-level control virtual commissioning

Thierry Berger, Dominique Deneux, Thérèse Bonte, Etienne Cocquebert, Damien Trentesaux

The benchmark of several high-level control strategies is required during the design of flexible manufacturing systems. Virtual commissioning is a popular approach to test and validate the behavior of the target control system based on a virtual model. It can actually simulate and help study the…

Fuzzy control turns 50: 10 years later

Thierry-Marie Guerra, Kazuo Tanaka, Antonio Sala

In 2015, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Fuzzy Sets, ten years after the main milestones regarding its applications in fuzzy control in their 40th birthday were reviewed in FSS, see [1]. Ten years is at the same time a long period and short time thinking to the inner dynamics of research. This…

Caractérisation biomécanique des différents mécanismes impliqués dans l'instabilité chronique de la cheville, Biomechanical characterization of the different mechanisms involved in Chronic Ankle Instability

Raphaël Pionnier

L’Instabilité Chronique de la Cheville (ICC) est une possible complication fonctionnelle consécutive à une entorse collatérale latérale et est définie par une sensation de « giving way » décrite subjectivement, qui correspond au dérobement de la cheville pendant sa mise en charge. Afin de mieux…, Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI) is a possible functional complication consecutive to a lateral ankle sprain and is defined by a feeling of ankle “giving way”, subjectively described, which corresponds to a flinch of this joint during its loading. In order to improve CAI characterization, it is…
