چکیده

Does it actually make sense to further increase the size of Ultra Large Container Ships from shipping line’s perspective? Is possibly opposite what growth in is supposed achieve experienced with current ship sizes? These questions are followed up on basis some fundamental geometric and physical considerations, whereby focus effects longer port stays ever larger ships. Based proportionalities a simple equation for Fuel/TEU Indicator introduced determine optimum regard fuel quantity carbon footprint per TEU particular liner service. This complemented by Total Cost estimating general size. The literature published so far has meanwhile identified doubts overall economy these ships especially when related land based costs also taken into account but still acknowledge economies scale growing themselves. paper intended scrutinize this thesis.

Semantically Guided Mega Proof Planner Semantically Guided Mega Proof Planner

Proof planning is an application of AI-planning in mathematical domains. The planning operators, called methods, encode proving steps. One of the strength of proof planning comes from the usage of mathematical knowledge that heuristically restricts the search space. Semantically guided proof planning takes a diierent perspective and uses semantic information as search control heuristics. In thi...

IBM Mega Traffic Simulator

IBM Mega Traffic Simulator (Megaffic) is an agent-based simulator of traffic flows with two unique features. First, Megaffic can build its model of simulation by directly estimating some of the parameters of the model from probe-car data. This capability is in contrast to existing agent-based simulators of traffic flows, where the values of their parameters are calibrated with iterative simulat...
