Περίληψη: Crew-pairing optimization involves the creation of a feasible and as close to optimum set of trips that cover all the flying activity of an airline. The problem is NP- complete which makes it computationally intractable and its solution requires specialized algorithms and heuristics. A major goal of the HPCN Esprit project PAROS is to improve the speed of the crew-pairing optimization process for the solution of very large problems. In this paper the ability to efficiently solve large crew pairing problems on a network of workstations (NOW) is presented. The main components of the crew-pairing optimization process are the pairing generator and the pairing optimizer. Large crew pairing problems from Lufthansa have been solved with a near linear speedup on the generator and satisfactory results on the optimizer.
