Municipal authorities blamed the builders, saying that they submitted applications without the proper documentation and then could not be reached when follow-up was needed. Who was right? Neither. The problem arose with a group of “expediters” who were taking advantage of the fact that the documentation requirements for permit applications were not publicly available.

متن کاملA Modeling Language for Hybrid Systems
The general hybrid systems modeling language (HSML) described here will serve two purposes: to define formally what is meant by the term “hybrid system”, and to provide the basis for language-based “front ends” for hybrid system simulation environments. Features of HSML include: hierarchical, modular construction of models; consistent yet distinctive definition of continuous-time, discrete-time...
متن کاملClustering Project Risks According to Their Interactions
Projects are dealing with bigger stakes and facing an ever-growing complexity. Project risks have then increased in number and criticality. Lists of identified project risks thus need to be decomposed, for smaller clusters are more manageable. Existing techniques are mainly based on a well-known parameter such as the nature of the risk or its criticality. But some limits have appeared since pro...
متن کاملAssessment of the potential areas for underground dam construction in Roomeshgan, Lorestan province, Iran
One of the methods for dealing with the problem of water shortage and the decline of groundwater levels in the arid areas is the construction of underground dams. It is difficult to make a decision about suitable locations for the construction of underground dams because of the necessity to consider numerous factors. Some of these criteria are hydrological, geological and geomorphologic charact...
متن کاملQuantum Rationality and Conditioning
Recently initiated research on use of quantum probability and logic in rational decision analysis is outlined. It will provide certain explanatory and computational mechanisms for dealing with paradoxes of ra-tionality. Further, it will ooer a natural framework for construction and interpretation of conditional objects. Short summaries of main techniques follow. 1 Overview Elementary quantum th...
