The definitive book on TM is back! See how transportation management fits into your SAP S/4HANA landscape and find out what's new for basic and advanced shipping. Walk through master data to get your transportation network up and running. Then follow step-by-step instructions to set up and use embedded TM functionality in SAP S/4HANA for transportation planning, freight order management, transportation execution, charge management, and more. Round out your implementation with detailed integration scenarios, migration tips, and best practices. In this book, you'll learn about: a. Configuration Set up master data for TM in SAP S/4HANA. Configure general master data such as business partners and materials, manage equipment types and resources, and get your transportation network up and running. b. Core Processes Follow step-by-step instructions to transport your goods. Perform manual and automated planning, manage orders and capacities, execute and monitor your transports, calculate and settle charges, and more. c. Integration Create a seamless transportation landscape. Connect to key solutions such as SAP Business Network for Logistics and SAP Global Trade Services. Explore the latest integration scenarios, including extended warehouse management (EWM) and advanced shipping and receiving.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization, EvoCOP 2006, held in Budapest, Hungary in April 2006. The 24 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 77 submissions. The papers include coverage of evolutionary algorithms as well as various other metaheuristics, like scatter search, tabu search, and memetic algorithms.

Evolutionary computation (EC) involves the study of problem-solving and op- mization techniques inspired by principles of natural evolution and genetics. EC has been able to draw the attention of an increasing number of researchers and practitioners in several ?elds. Evolutionary algorithms have in particular been showntobee?ectivefordi?cultcombinatorialoptimizationproblemsappearing in various industrial, economics, and scienti?c domains. This volume contains the proceedings of EvoCOP 2005, the 5th European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization. It was held in Lausanne, Switzerland, on 30 March-1 April 2005, jointly with EuroGP 2005, the 8th European Conference on Genetic Programming, and the EvoWorkshops 2005, which consisted of the following six individual workshops: EvoBIO, the 3rd European Workshop on Evolutionary Bioinformatics; Evo- COMNET, the 2nd European Workshop on Evolutionary Computation in C- munication, Networks, and Connected Systems; EvoHOT, the 2nd European Workshop on Hardware Optimisation Techniques; EvoIASP, the 7th European Workshop on Evolutionary Computation in Image Analysis and Signal Proce- ing; EvoMUSART, the 3rd European Workshop on Evolutionary Music and Art; and EvoSTOC, the 2nd European Workshop on Evolutionary Algorithms in Stochastic and Dynamic Environments.

  This book constitutes the joint refereed proceedings of six workshops, EvoWorkshops 2003, held together with EuroGP 2003 in Essex, UK in April 2003. The 63 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 109 submissions. In accordance with the six workshops covered , the papers are organized in topical sections on bioinformatics, combinatorial optimization, image analysis and signal processing, evolutionary music and art, evolutionary robotics, and scheduling and timetabling.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of three workshops on the application of evolutionary programming and algorithms in various domains; these workshops were held in conjunction with the 5th European Conference on Genetic Programming, EuroGP 2002, in Kinsale, Ireland, in April 2002.The 33 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected by the respective program committees. In accordance with the three workshops EvoCOP, EvoIASP, and EvoSTIM/EvoPLAN, the papers are organized in topical sections on combinatorial optimization problems; image analysis and signal processing; and scheduling, timetabling, and AI planning.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of five application-oriented workshops held concurrently as EvoWorkshops 2001 in Como, Italy in April 2001.The 52 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected out of 75 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on graph problems, Knapsack problems, ant algorithms, assignment problems, evolutionary algorithms analysis, permutative problems, aeronautics, image analysis and signal processing, evolutionary learning, and evolutionary scheduling and timetabling.
