Predicting Optimal System Time Based on Number of Lines in A Message in Free-Sequence Multi-Stage News Agency

摘要

The work flow of news agencies consists of many stages including Interpreting and must produce reliable news as fast as possible. Each stage consists of many stages and can be divided into specific processing procedure. The proposed study describes a novel multicriteria optimization framework for deriving optimal number of processors in the Interpreting division to achieve efficient, timesaving and low-cost operation of the system. The task of interpreting division is formulated as an optimization problem of sequencing jobs in a free-sequence, considering the total set up cost and total tardiness penalty per hour as the criteria for optimization, and calculating the processing rate by taking varying massages length (by lines) rather than averaging them.
