New material addresses the solutions to the modeling of decisions in Chapter 3, while in Chapter 11 the authors address an emerging challenge in automated container terminals with integrated management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eClassifies the optimization problems of the ports into five scheduling decisions. For each decision, it supplies an overview, formulates each of the decisions as constraint satisfaction and optimization problems, and then covers possible solutions, implementation, and performance.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores in Part One of the book the various optimization problems in modern container terminals, while details in Part Two advanced algorithms for the minimum cost flow (MCF) problem and for the scheduling problem of AGVs in ports.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers complete package that can help readers address the scheduling problems of AGVs in ports.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is a valuable reference for port authorities and researchers, including specialists and graduate students in operation research. For specialists, it provides novel and efficient algorithms for network flow problems. For students, it supplies the most comprehensive survey of the field along with a rigorous formulation of the problems in port automation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hassan Rashidi, Edward P.
