Online plan modification in uncertain resource-constrained environments

This thesis presents a novel approach to planning under uncertainty in resource constrained environments. Such environments feature in many real-world applications, including planetary rover and autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) missions. Our focus is on long-duration AUV missions, in which a vehicle spends months at sea, with little or no opportunity for intervention. As the risk to the vehi...

Uncertain Resource Availabilities: Proactive and Reactive Procedures for Preemptive Resource Constrained project Scheduling Problem

Project scheduling is the part of project management that deals with determining when intime to start (and finish) which activities and with the allocation of scarce resources to theproject activities. In practice, virtually all project managers are confronted with resourcescarceness. In such cases, the Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP)arises. This optimization problem has...

Testing in Resource-Constrained Environments

mHealth in Resource-Constrained Environments

The use of mobile devices in telemedicine contributes to providing more effective and efficient remote healthcare in rural areas improving patients’ life style and medical quality of service in this setting. The idea of creating mobile applications for this scenario led the authors to face important sociotechnical challenges in terms of innovation and design for resource-constrained environment...
