چکیده

This paper reconsiders the PERT scheduling problem when information about task duration is incomplete. We model uncertainty on task durations by intervals. With this problem formulation, our goal is to assert possible and necessary criticality of the different tasks and to compute their possible earliest starting dates, latest starting dates and floats. This paper puts together various results and provides a complete solution to the problem. We present the complexity results of all considered subproblems and efficient algorithms to solve them.

An Algorithm to Obtain Possibly Critical Paths in Imprecise Project Networks

  We consider criticality in project networks having imprecise activity duration times. It is well known that finding all possibly critical paths of an imprecise project network is an NP-hard problem. Here, based on a method for finding critical paths of crisp networks by using only the forward recursion of critical path method, for the first time an algorithm is proposed which can find all pos...

Proposing a Robust Model of Interval Data Envelopment Analysis to Performance Measurement under Double Uncertainty Situations

It is very necessary to consider the uncertainty in the data and how to deal with it when performance measurement using data envelopment analysis. Because a little deviation in the data can lead to a significant change in the performance results. However, in the real world and in many cases, the data is uncertain. Interval data envelopment analysis is one of the most widely used approaches to d...

Time Online Calendar Ambient Acoustical Signal Desktop Activity Inspection Interval

We introduce utility-directed procedures for mediating the ow of potentially distracting alerts and communications to computer users. We present models and inference procedures that balance the context-sensitive costs of deferring alerts with the cost of interruption. We describe the challenge of reasoning about such costs under uncertainty via an analysis of user activity and the content of no...

A New Version of Earned Value Analysis for Mega Projects Under Interval-valued Fuzzy Environment

The earned value technique is a crucial and important technique in analysis and control the performance and progress of mega projects by integrating three elements of them, i.e., time, cost and scope. This paper proposes a new version of earned value analysis (EVA) to handle uncertainty in mega projects under interval-valued fuzzy (IVF)-environment. Considering that uncertainty is very common i...
