Activity-based accessibility measures, describing the level of access to spatially distributed activities, are not put to the same use in land use and/or transport policy evaluations as are infrastructure-based accessibility measures, which describe congestion levels or the average speed on the motorway network. In this paper we attempt to improve the current evaluation practice by the applicat...

This work studies the performance of two Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) models to solve scheduling problems in a flexible job shop environment with recirculation and assembly using a due-date-based objective function. The models convey different approaches both in the modelling of time (discrete and continuous approaches) as well as in the assignment of jobs to machines. The comparison...

ChinaGrid aims at building a public service system for Chinese education and research. ChinaGrid Support Platform (CGSP) is a grid middleware developed for the construction of the ChinaGrid. Function modules of CGSP for system running are Domain Manager, Information Center, Job Manager, Data Manager, Service Container and Security Manager. Developing tools for gird constructor and application d...

This paper presents an integrated approach for scheduling in distributed computing with strategies as sets of job supporting schedules generated by a critical works method. The strategies are implemented using a combination of job-flow and application-level techniques of scheduling within virtual organizations of Grid. Applications are regarded as compound jobs with a complex structure containi...

Grids reliability remains an order of magnitude below clusters on production infrastructures. This work is aimsed at improving grid application performances by improving the job submission system. A stochastic model, capturing the behavior of a complex grid workload management system is proposed. To instantiate the model, detailed statistics are extracted from dense grid activity traces. The mo...

background and objectives: spiritual intelligence has different definitions and one of them is application of spiritual data to solve routine problems. this study was intended to assess the relation between spiritual intelligence and lifestyle with job satisfaction in primary school teachers in gorgan. methods: in 2014, from the statistical community of gorgan’s primary school teachers, a numbe...

Purpose – The web is now a significant component of the recruitment and job search process. However, very little is known about how companies and job seekers use the web, and the ultimate effectiveness of this process. The specific research questions guiding this study are: how do people search for job-related information on the web? How effective are these searches? And how likely are job seek...
