We present an accurate method to compute the minimum distance between a point and an elliptical torus, which is called the orthogonal projection problem. The basic idea is to transform a geometric problem into finding the unique real solution of a qu...

A promising approach for an effective shop scheduling that synergizes the benefits of the combinatorial optimization, supervised learning and discrete-event simulation is presented. Though dispatching rules are in widely used by shop scheduling pract...

The editors of Computers would like to express their sincere gratitude to the following reviewers for assessing manuscripts in 2015. [...]

Active learning strategies respond to the costly labeling task in a supervised classification by selecting the most useful unlabeled examples in training a predictive model. Many conventional active learning algorithms focus on refining the decision...
