Scientific Programming Tools for Water Management

A Taxonomy on Tools for Scientific Workflow Management System

Scientific workflow management systems (SWFMSs) have been shown important to scientific computing and services computing [4][5][6][7] as they provide functionalities such as work flow determination, process coordination, job scheduling and execution, provenance discover and error resistance. Systems such as Pegasus [11], Taverna [8], Swift [12] ,Vistrails [10], Kepler [9] have seen wide accepta...

Conceptual Schemas: Multi-faceted Tools for Desktop Scientific Experiment Management

In this paper, we identify some of the fundamental issues that must be addressed in designing a desktop Experiment Management System (EMS). We develop an abstraction of the set of activities performed by scientists throughout the course of an experimental study, and based on that abstraction we propose an EMS architecture that can support all such activities. The proposed EMS architecture is ce...

Analytical Tools for Integrating Transfers into Water Resource Management Strategies

Development of transferable multicriteria decision tools for water resource management

The European Water Framework Directive establishes a framework for protecting water resources and prescribes a set of environmental objectives which are to be achieved by 2015. The Directive’s implementation will entail decisions which will have to consider multiple, uncertain decision outcomes, and which involve or affect a variety of stakeholders. A raft of methods such as cost benefit analys...

On two-stage fuzzy random programming for water resources management

In this paper, a two-stage fuzzy random programming for a management problem in terms of water resources allocation having fuzzy random variable coefficients and decision vector of random variables is studied. The first results show the fact that a fuzzy pseudorandom optimal solution of a two-stage fuzzy random programming may be resolved into a two of pseudorandom optimal solutions of relative...
