چکیده

Reasoning on precedence relations is crucial for many planning and scheduling systems. In this paper we propose a double precedence graph where direct precedence relations are kept additionally to traditional precedence relations (A can directly precede B if no activity must be allocated between A and B). Such precedence relations are motivated by solving problems like modelling sequence-dependent setup times or describing state transitions. We describe a constraint-based model for double precedence graphs and present incremental propagation rules for maintaining the transitive closure of the graph.

Double Precedence Graphs

Reasoning on precedence relations is crucial for many planning and scheduling systems. In this paper we propose a double precedence graph where direct precedence relations are kept in addition to traditional precedence relations. By the direct precedence between activities A and B we mean that A directly precedes B (no activity is between A and B). We also show how these direct precedence relat...

Incremental Propagation Rules for a Precedence Graph with Optional Activities and Time Windows

Constraint-based scheduling is a powerful tool for solving real-life scheduling problems thanks to a natural integration of special solving algorithms encoded in global constraints. The filtering algorithms behind these constraints are based on propagation rules modelling some aspects of the problems, for example a unary resource. This paper describes new incremental propagation rules integrati...

Incremental Propagation of Time Windows on Disjunctive Resources

Constraint-based techniques are frequently used in solving real-life scheduling problems thanks to natural modeling capabilities and strong constraint propagation techniques encoded within global constraints. In this paper we present new incremental propagation rules for shrinking time windows of activities allocated to a disjunctive resource. These rules use information about precedence constr...

Seismic Design of Steel Structures Based on Ductility and Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis

In this paper a simple tool for seismic design of steel structures for a selected ductility level is presented. For this purpose, a consistent set of earthquakes is selected and sorted based on the maximum acceleration of ground surface. The selected records are applied as the base motion to a single-degree-of-freedom system with strain hardening and the maximum response acceleration is determi...
