location-allocation is a combinatorial optimization problem, and is defined as non deterministic polynomial hard (np) hard optimization. therefore, solution of such a problem should be shifted from exact to heuristic or meta heuristic due to the complexity of the problem. locating medical centers and allocating injuries of an earthquake to them has high importance in earthquake disaster managem...

One evidenced based approach for exploring future agricultural land use change scenarios is Land Use Allocation (LUA). This approach can be used to support medium to long term strategic planning. Specifically, land managers can consider a number of diverse environmental social, economic and physical factors, and explore land use allocation scenarios before choosing to produce one or more commod...

Resource reservation has been widely used in many realtime systems to guarantee the proper access to the system resources. Despite that being the memory a key resource, it has attracted little attention in the specific area of realtime systems. In order to use dynamic memory in real-time systems, two fundamental problems have to be settled: allocation and deallocation in bounded time, and the f...

Here it is proposed a novel adaptive transmission scheme for space-time trellis coded multipleinput multiple-output beamforming systems with imperfect channel state information at the transmitter, of which the signal constellation, total transmit power (temporal power), and power allocation among eigenbeams (spatial power) are jointly adapted to maximize the average spectral efficiency, subject...

Spatial decision support systems (SDSS) are designed to make complex resource allocation problems more transparent and to support the design and evaluation of allocation plans. Recent developments in this field focus on the design of allocation plans using optimization techniques. In this paper we analyze how uncertainty in spatial (input) data propagates through, and affects the results of, an...

In many situations, task allocation is highly dependent on the spatial locality of the agents and the tasks. In this paper we explore task allocation in complex spatial environments, where the cost of completing a task can vary over time. This work focuses on a subset of cost functions for tasks that grow over time and presents the real-time Latest Finishing First (RTLFF) algorithm, which strik...

this research has been conducted with the aim of analyzing the spatial distribution of existing cultural land use in district 3 of tehran municipality and proposal for new site selection for cultural land use in this district. after studying previous researches on the issues of land use and site selection, 13 indicators for locating cultural land use were identified then by using distance mappi...
