Bangkok--31 Mar--AIT
A student of Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Ms. Warisa Wisittipanich, has bagged the best student paper award at the “Seventh International Conference on Intelligent Manufacturing and Logistics Systems”, which was held at Yuan-Ze University, Zhong-Li in Chinese Taipei recently.
The paper titled “A Pareto-based Participle Swan Optimization for Multi-objective Job Shop Scheduling Problems”, which was co-authored with her advisor, Prof. Voratas Kachitvichyanukul of AIT’s School of Engineering and Technology (SET), was presented at the conference which concluded on 1 March 2011. Ms. Warisa, who was one among the five recipients of the award, was the only student from Thailand to win the award.
Ms. Warisa, who is a doctoral student at Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering (IME) field of study, says that the paper focuses on achieving optimization while faced with multiple objectives. “Pareto Swan Optimization is used to arrive at a set of solutions when faced with multiple objectives,” she explains. This helps at reaching a solution which is optimal when faced with two or more goals.
At the same conference, another IME alumnus, Dr. Rapeepan Pitakaso, also won a prize for young researchers. His paper was titled “A combination of a simple sweep heuristic and exact method to solve vehicle routing problem under uncertainty of demand and service time interval.”
