Resource Temporal Networks: Definition and Complexity

نویسنده

  • Philippe Laborie
چکیده

This paper introduces the concept of Resource Temporal Network (RTN), a constraint network that subsumes both classical attributes used in A.I. Planning and capacity resources traditionally handled in Scheduling. After giving a formal definition of RTNs, we analyze their expressive power and study complexities of several fragments of the RTN framework. We show that solving an RTN is in general NP-Complete which is not surprising given the expressivity of the framework whereas computing a Necessary Truth Criterion is polynomial. This last result opens the door for promising algorithms to solve RTNs.

Four Challenges That Global Health Networks Face

Global health networks, webs of individuals and organizations with a shared concern for a particular condition, have proliferated over the past quarter century. They differ in their effectiveness, a factor that may help explain why resource allocations vary across health conditions and do not correspond closely with disease burden. Drawing on findings from recently concluded studies of eight gl...

Nested Temporal Networks with Alternatives

Temporal networks play a crucial role in modeling temporal relations in planning and scheduling applications. Recently, several extensions of temporal networks were proposed to integrate non-temporal information such as resource consumption or logical dependencies. Temporal Networks with Alternatives were proposed to model alternative and parallel processes, however the problem of deciding whic...
