  1. 1. Comparison of Two Constraint Solvers for University Timetable Creation with Focus on Algorithm Choices

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Herman Karlsson; Sebastian Williams; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The problem of finding an optimal schedule for universities based on their numerous constraints is NP-complete and thus requires heuristics to get good solutions. Our study has compared two constraint solvers that employ different combinations of heuristics to determine which is more suitable for universities. READ MORE

  3. 2. Comparing Two-Phase Hybrid Metaheuristics for the University Course Timetabling Problem (UCTP)

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Isabella Andersson; Carl Petter Svensson; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Timetabling is a time consuming and difficult task for large organizations. One popular research field is the university course timetabling problem (UCTP). UCTP is the NP-hard combinatorial problem of scheduling courses at a university while satisfying some constraints. READ MORE

  5. 4. Optimization of paper pulp production using Artificial Neural Networks and Simulated Annealing

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Filip Sandkvist; [2014]
    Keywords : Canadian Standard Freeness.; paper pulp; Simulated Annealing; hard soft limit function; Artificial Neural Network; CD refiner; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The purpose of this paper is to investigate the possibilities of optimizing the production of paper pulp in a Conical Disc (CD) refiner for different production rates, taking into account the variables that are thought to be the most important for the production. These include three separate dilution waters, conical disc gap and flat gap. READ MORE

  6. 5. Increase the capacityof continuous annealing furnaces at Ovako

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : v Dahlqvist; [2012]
    Keywords : Soft annealing; spheroidization; heat treatment; OVAKO; capacity ncrease; productivity; continuous furnace; normalization; isothermal annealing; quench and tempering; tubemill; COMSOL; simulation.;

    Abstract : The capacity of soft annealing of low alloyed tubes at Ovako’s continuous annealing furnaces have been evaluated by comparing how it is done today with information from published and internal articles on the subject. It was found that it is possible to reduce the cycle time by 30 % for one furnace, 55 % for one furnace and 72 % for two furnaces. READ MORE
