the task of optimally assigning military ordinance to enemy targets, often termed weapon target allocation (wta) problem, has become a major focus of modern military thought where a cost effective allocation is required without degrading the required kill performance. the paper presents three main weapon allocation techniques namely uniform weapon allocation, first-in-first weapon allocation an...

Conventional GEO satellite communication systems rely on a multibeam foot-print with uniform resource allocation to provide connectivity users. However, applying is inefficient in presence of non-uniform demand distribution. To overcome this limitation, the next generation broadband will enable flexibility terms power and bandwidth assignment, enabling on-demand allocation. In paper, we propose...

In this paper, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm and Guaranteed Convergence PSO (GCPSO) are proposed to determine the allocation of Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) and Static Var Compensator (SVC) for maximizing the Total Transfer Capability (TTC) between source and sink area by considering voltage limits and thermal limits in a power system. The optimization is made on...

The science of construction scheduling has gained importance in the past few decades and has become the focal point of construction management practitioners. Scheduling involves listing of a project's milestones, activities, and deliverables with intended start and finish dates. These are estimated in terms of resource allocation, budget and duration. Resource limits (manpower, machinery, mater...

The cleaning up of waste present in transboundary rivers, which requires the cooperation of different authorities, is a problematic issue, especially when responsibility for the discharge of the waste is not well-defined. Following Ni and Wang [12] we assume that a river is a segment divided into several regions from upstream to downstream. We show that when the transfer rate of the waste is un...

In this paper we consider a stochastic model describing the varying number of flows in a network. This model features flows of two types, namely file transfers (with fixed volume) and streaming traffic (with fixed duration), and extends the model of Key, Massoulié, Bain and Kelly [27] by allowing more general bandwidth allocation criteria. We analyse the dynamics of the system under a fluid sca...

the market for carbon dioxide rights emerged as one of the tools applicable to the implementation of the measures adopted by the kyoto protocol to combat climate change. in this paper we analyze the case of spain, because their peculiar administrative division into seventeen autonomous communities, it is relevant to a detailed study of emissions and allowances of the industries that make up ...
