In this paper, a multi-objective project scheduling problem is addressed. This problem considers two conflicting, priority optimization objectives for project managers. One of these objectives is to minimize the project ...

An iterative two-stage decomposition solution strategy for solving real-world scheduling problems in multi-stage multi-product batch plants is presented. The proposed method has as a core a mixed integer mathematical model, ...

An exergy cost assessment of integrated solar multi-generation schemes, which includes cogeneration, trigeneration, and polygeneration schemes, for the joint production of electricity, fresh water, cooling, and process ...

In this research, we analyzed the (multi)literacies practices of 9th grade students in order to verify the uses of reading and text production in a public-school context. For this, (i) we described the events and practices ...

A Random Finite Set (RFS) based multi-target filter is proposed, which utilizes a labeled Multi-Bernoulli distribution to model the multi-target state, together with a Poisson RFS distribution to model target birth. Referred ...

Software processes usually include activities involving severalpeople playing different roles. SPEM provides primitives for defining allthe roles involved in each activity. Software process specification nota-tions are not ...
