The concept of manpower planning is a very important role in Decision making problems. Many mathematical models have been discussed using different kinds of wastages and different type of distributions (see [1], [2]). Since then several authors [7]-[9] contributed to the development of the problem of time to recruitment in a single graded marketing organization involving only one threshold unde...

In many important economic decisions under uncertainty, the expected-utility maximizing choice is ex post optimal only if certain later states are reached. We investigate whether, outside of discounting, subjects are biased towards options faring well in early-period comparisons. We conduct neutral-context laboratory experiments to systematically investigate this bias and its interaction with a...

A prerequisite to efficient behavior by a multi-robot team is the ability to accurately perceive the environment. In this paper, we present an approach to deal with sensing uncertainty at the coordination level. Specifically, robots attach information regarding features that caused the initiation of a course of action, to any coordination message for that activity. Further information regarding...

This paper proposed a new general probabilistic multi-item, single-source inventory model with varying mixture shortage cost under two restrictions. One of them is on the expected varying backorder cost and the other is on the expected varying lost sales cost. This model is formulated to analyze how the firm can deduce the optimal order quantity and the optimal reorder point for each item to re...

Slavtchova-Bojkova, M., 1999. Computation of waiting time to successful experiment using age-dependent branching model. Ecol. Modelling, This paper considers the properties of the waiting time to survive forever of the supercritical age-dependent branching process modified with an immigration component. Conditioning on ultimate extinction of the process we analyze the conditional distribution o...
