air defense is a crucial area for all naval combat systems. in this study, we consider a warship equipped with an air-defense weapon that targets incoming threats using surface-to-air missiles. we define the weapon scheduling problem as the optimal scheduling of a set of surface-to-air missiles of a warship to a set of attacking air threats. the optimal scheduling of the weapon results in an in...

Consider a scenario where radio base stations need to send data to users with wireless devices. Time is discrete and slotted into synchronous rounds. Transmitting a data item from a base station to a user takes one round. A user can receive the data item from any of the base stations. The positions of the base stations and users are modeled as points in Euclidean space. If base station b transm...

nuclear power reactors are, in nature nonlinear and time varying. these characteristics must be considered, if large power variations occur in their working regime. in this paper a robust optimal gain scheduling controller for regulating the power of a nuclear reactor has been designed and simulated. the proposed controller is capable of regulating power levels in a wide power range (10% to 100...

Proper and realistic scheduling is an important factor of success for every project. In reality, project scheduling often involves several objectives that must be realized simultaneously, and faces numerous uncertainties that may undermine the integrity of the devised schedule. Thus, the manner of dealing with such uncertainties is of particular importance for effective planning. A realistic sc...
