Contractor programming
This paper describes a solver programming method, called contractor programming, that copes with two issues related to constraint processing over the reals. First, continuous constraints involve an inevitable step of solver design. Existing softwares provide an insufficient answer by restricting users to choose among a list of fixed strategies. Our first contribution is to give more freedom in ...
متن کاملGlobal Optimization based on Contractor Programming
In this paper, we will present a general pattern based on contractor programming for designing a global optimization solver. This approach allows to solve problems with a wide variety of constraints. The complexity and the performance of the algorithm rely on the construction of contractors which characterize the feasible region.
متن کاملContractor Selection Using Integrated Goal Programming and Fuzzy ELECTRE
Outsourcing plays an important role in the success of organizations. One of the risks associated with outsourcing is inappropriate contractor selection which significantly influences the implementation of projects in terms of time, quality, and cost. In this study, we applied multi-criteria decision-making techniques in order to determine the best contractor using criteria such as reputation, o...
متن کاملThe Employee/Contractor Determiner
A side-effect of the national debate about employer-provided benefits has been to focus attention on the cost of hiring and retaining employees. This has led to renewed interest in the issue of when a worker is an employee vs. an independent contractor. The IRS must make determinations regarding worker status. This determination process which has evolved through judicial precedent, is subjectiv...
متن کاملNASA Contractor Report
This paper describes preconditioned conjugate gradient methods for solving sparse symmetric and positive definite systems of linear equations. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for when these preconditioners can be used and an analysis of their effectiveness is given. Efficient computer implementations of these methods are discussed and results on the CYBER 203 and the Finite Elemen...
