The equitable chromatic number is the smallest number k such that G admits such equitable k-coloring. We focus on enumerative algorithms for the computation of the equitable coloring number and propose a general scheme to derive pruning rules for them: We show how the extendability of a partial coloring into an equitable coloring can be modeled via network flows. Thus, we obtain pruning rules which can be checked via flow algorithms. Computational experiments show that the search tree of enumerative algorithms can be significantly reduced in size by these rules and, in most instances, such naive approach even yields a faster algorithm. Moreover, the stability, i.e., the number of solved instances within a given time limit, is greatly improved. Since the execution of flow algorithms at each node of a search tree is time consuming, we derive arithmetic pruning rules (generalized Hall-conditions) from the network model. Adding these rules to an enumerative algorithm yields an even larger runtime improvement.}, language = {en} } @article{UlmerBraunChengetal.2023, author = {Ulmer, Jessica and Braun, Sebastian and Cheng, Chi-Tsun and Dowey, Steve and Wollert, J{\"o}rg}, title = {A human factors-aware assistance system in manufacturing based on gamification and hardware modularisation}, series = {International Journal of Production Research}, journal = {International Journal of Production Research}, publisher = {Taylor \& Francis}, issn = {0020-7543 (Print)}, doi = {10.1080/00207543.2023.2166140}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Assistance systems have been widely adopted in the manufacturing sector to facilitate various processes and tasks in production environments. However, existing systems are mostly equipped with rigid functional logic and do not provide individual user experiences or adapt to their capabilities. This work integrates human factors in assistance systems by adjusting the hardware and instruction presented to the workers' cognitive and physical demands. A modular system architecture is designed accordingly, which allows a flexible component exchange according to the user and the work task. Gamification, the use of game elements in non-gaming contexts, has been further adopted in this work to provide level-based instructions and personalised feedback. The developed framework is validated by applying it to a manual workstation for industrial assembly routines.}, language = {en} } @article{EnningJenayehMuelleretal.1998, author = {Enning, Manfred and Jenayeh, I. and M{\"u}ller, C. and Kositza, N.}, title = {A New Approach for Automating Shunting Processes in Marshalling Yards / Jenayeh, I.; M{\"u}ller, C. ; Kositza, N. ; Enning, M. ; Rake, H.}, series = {Computational Engineering in Systems Applications : 2nd IMACS International Multiconference CESA'98; [abstracts; Nabeul-Hammamet, Tunisia, April 1 - 4, 1998] / ed. by Pierre Borne}, journal = {Computational Engineering in Systems Applications : 2nd IMACS International Multiconference CESA'98; [abstracts; Nabeul-Hammamet, Tunisia, April 1 - 4, 1998] / ed. by Pierre Borne}, publisher = {UCIS}, address = {Villeneuve d'Ascq}, pages = {338 -- 343}, year = {1998}, language = {en} } @article{ScheidweilerTriesch2016, author = {Scheidweiler, Robert and Triesch, Eberhard}, title = {A note on the duality between matchings and vertex covers in balanced hypergraphs}, series = {Journal of Combinatorial Optimization}, volume = {32}, journal = {Journal of Combinatorial Optimization}, number = {2}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {1573-2886}, doi = {10.1007/s10878-015-9887-5}, pages = {639 -- 644}, year = {2016}, abstract = {We present a new Min-Max theorem for an optimization problem closely connected to matchings and vertex covers in balanced hypergraphs.
