Appendix: Information on Web
This book is a scientific report of a very solid piece of research. The research is mainly focused on Scheduling of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) (http://www.bracil.net/CSP/autoport/Book.html) in container ports. The problem is to schedule several AGVs in a port to carry many containers from the quayside to yardside or vice versa. This problem is formulated as a Minimum Cost Flow problem and then solved by Network Simplex Algorithm (NSA), Network Simplex plus Algorithm (NSA+), Dynamic Network Simplex Algorithm (DNSA), and Dynamic Network simplex Plus Algorithm (DNSA+). The research contributions are NSA+, DNSA, and DNSA+. NSA+ is faster than NSA. DNSA and DNSA+ repair the previous solution when any changes happen. ...
