چکیده
This note shows how to formalize a small set of general facts about buying and selling.

Then we formalize our assumptions in action language C+ with additive fluents and actions and test the adequacy of the proposed formalization using the Causal Calculator.

متن کاملConsidering chain to chain competition in forward and reverse logistics of a dynamic and integrated supply chain network design problem
In this paper, a bi-objective model is presented for dynamic and integrated network design of a new entrant competitive closed-loop supply chain. To consider dynamism and integration in the network design problem, multiple long-term periods are regarded during planning horizon, so that each long-term period includes several short-term periods. Furthermore, a chain to chain competition between t...
