The development of Operations Research (OR) requires constant improvements, such as the integration of research results with business applications and innovative educational practice. The full deployment and commercial exploitation of goods and services generally need the construction of strong synergies between educational institutions and businesses. The IO2015 -XVII Congress of APDIO aims at strengthening the knowledge triangle in education, research and innovation, in order to maximize the contribution of OR for sustainable growth, the promoting of a knowledge-based economy, and the smart use of finite resources. The IO2015-XVII Congress of APDIO is a privileged meeting point for the promotion and dissemination of OR and related disciplines, through the exchange of ideas among teachers, researchers, students , and professionals with different background, but all sharing a common desire that is the development of OR.
This proceedings book presents selected contributions from the XVIII Congress of APDIO (the Portuguese Association of Operational Research) held in Valença on June 28–30, 2017. Prepared by leading Portuguese and international researchers in the field of operations research, it covers a wide range of complex real-world applications of operations research methods using recent theoretical techniques, in order to narrow the gap between academic research and practical applications. Of particular interest are the applications of, nonlinear and mixed-integer programming, data envelopment analysis, clustering techniques, hybrid heuristics, supply chain management, and lot sizing and job schedulin...

This paper presents a novel approach to aid the operational decision-making of scheduling activities in a real-world pipeline used to transport heavy oil derivatives. Heavy oil derivatives are products of less aggregate value, such as fuel oils, e.g. Marine Fuel. These products present some special characteristics for their transport. Indeed due to their viscosity at the room temperature it is impossible to transport them without heating. Thus, when transporting such products through pipelines the entire pipeline network (and the storage tanks) must be maintained heated during the entire pumping process. Such characteristics imply that a specific model oriented to this type of problem must b...

This book contains papers presented at the 14th European Symposium on Computer Aided Process Engineering (ESCAPE-14). The ESCAPE symposia bring together scientists, students and engineers from academia and industry, who are active in the research and application of Computer Aided Process Engineering.The objective of ESCAPE-14 is to highlight the use of computers and information technology tools on five specific themes: 1. Product and Process Design, 2. Synthesis and Process Integration, 3. Process Control and Analysis, 4. Manufacturing & Process Operations, 5. New Challenges in CAPE.- Provides this year's comprehensive overview of the current state of affairs in the CAPE community- Contains reports from the frontiers of science by the field's most respected scientists - Special Keynote by Professor Roger Sargent, Long Term Achievement CAPE Award winner
