This paper presents a new optimization model and a new interval type-2 fuzzy solution approach for project portfolio selection and scheduling (PPSS) problem, in which split of projects and re-execution are allowable. Afterward, the approach is realized as a multi-objective optimization that maximizes total benefits of projects concerning economic concepts by considering the interest rate and time value of money and minimizes the tardiness value and total number of interruptions of chosen projects. Besides, budget and resources limitation, newfound relations are proposed to consider dependency relationships via a synergy among projects to solve PPSS problem hiring interval type-2 fuzzy sets. For validation of the model, numerical instances are provided and solved by a new extended procedure based on fuzzy optimistic and pessimistic viewpoints regarding several situations. In the end, their results are studied. The results show that it is more beneficial when projects are allowed to be split.

Abstract Nowadays market basket analysis is one of the interested research areas of the data mining that has received more attention by researchers. But, most of the related research focused on the traditional and heuristic algorithms with limited factors that are not the only influential factors of the basket market analysis. In this paper to efficient modeling and analysis of the market basket data, the optimization model is proposed with considering allocation parameter as one of the important and effectual factors of the selling rate. The genetic algorithm approach is applied to solve the formulated non-linear binary programming problem and a numerical example is used to illustrate the presented model. The provided results reveal that the obtained solutions seem to be more realistic and applicable.

Travelling salesman problem is a fundamental combinatorial optimization model studied in the operations research community, and yet, there is surprisingly little literature that addresses stochastic uncertainties and multiple objectives in it simultaneously. This paper is devoted to a novel TSP variation called stochastic multiobjective TSP (SMOTSP) with random variables on the arc, and a new solution approach is proposed to obtain Pareto efficient route in it, whose validity is proved finally.

Due to the particularity of railway luggage & package shipping organization and large requirement of luggage & package shipping, the problem of making luggage & package shipping plan is increasingly complex. In order to improve the efficiency of making luggage & package shipping plan and assist human work, this paper mainly discusses how to optimize the plan. Based on analyzing the characteristic of luggage & package shipping, this paper analyzes lots of factors that affects the rationality of the plan and establishes an optimization model with the objective of minimizing general cost based on service network, and then develops a Heuristic Algorithm. At last, the application of service network design model for luggage & package shipping and its solution approach are illustrated with the case.

Optimal selection of interdependent IT and e-business projects for funding in multi-period has been challenging in the framework of Real Option analysis. This paper presents a mathematical model to optimize the fuzzy Option value for multi-stage portfolio of such projects. A fuzzy Option model is used to maximize the Option value of each project. The IT and e-service portfolio selection problem is formulated as a fuzzy zero–one integer programming model that can handle both uncertain and flexible parameters to determine the optimal project portfolio. The idea of optimizing the fuzzy real option value of the portfolio is to maximize the overall value and to minimize the downside risk of the selected portfolio for funding. A transformation method based on qualitative possibility theory is developed to convert the fuzzy portfolio selection model into a crisp mathematical model from the risk-averse perspective. The transformed model can be solved by an optimization technique. The optimization model and solution approach can help e-entrepreneurs and IT managers in optimal funding decision making for projects prioritization to implement e-business and other IT services.
