This policy brief examines the impact of data science on the public sector in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region in general, with a particular focus on Lebanon, based on insights from discussions and technical ...
The objective of the multi-dimensional knapsack problem (MKP) is to find a subset of items with maximum value that satisfies a number of knapsack constraints. Solution methods for MKP, both heuristic and exact, have been ...

In the open vehicle routing problem (OVRP), the objective is to minimise the number of vehicles and then minimise the total distance (or time) travelled. Each route starts at the depot and ends at a customer, visiting a ...
A new heuristic algorithm for solving the two-dimensional bin-packing problem with guillotine cuts (2DBPG) is presented. The heuristic constructs a solution by packing a bin at a time. Central to the adopted solution scheme ...
This paper considers an inventory system within the economic order quantity (EOQ) model framework under random supply. The production process can go out-of-control with a constant probability and start producing imperfect ...
