In this working paper, the National Institute of Civil Aeronautics of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (Instituto Nacional de Aeronáutica Civil – INAC) presents a project to implement safety management system (SMS)/State safety programme (SSP) using an integrated administrative and management system for civil aeronautical safety (AEROSIG), with the intention of providing a useful reference ...

The standard technique for cellular networks is to decrease radio cell size, thereby maintaining a supportable subscriber density. However, smaller cell sizes result in increased signaling for location management procedures, which reduces the bandwidth available for user traffic and increases the cost. A dynamic distance-based location update with sequential paging with no delay constraint algo...

Location based or “context aware” computing is becoming increasingly recognized as a vital part of a mobile computing environment. As a consequence, the need for location-management middleware is widely recognized and actively researched. Location-management is frequently offered to the application through a “location API” (e.g. JSR 179) where the mobile unit can find out its own location as co...

In the present research, a multi-objective model is proposed, which considers equity among the citizens in addition to the cost criterion. Then, the model will be solved using Reservation Level Tchebycheff Procedure (RLTP), which is one of the interactive multi-objective decision-making techniques. Subsequently, the obtained results will be compared with those of the single-objective models to ...
