A new method for finding fuzzy optimal solution, the maximum total completion fuzzy time and fuzzy critical path for the given fully fuzzy critical path (FFCP) problems using crisp linear programming (LP) problem is proposed. In this proposed method, all the parameters are represented by triangular fuzzy number. The fuzzy optimal solution of the FFCP problems obtained by the proposed method, do...

In this work complexity is defined as the combination of the number and types of Value Transfer Functions (VTF) between stakeholders of a system. Increasing the number of stakeholders increases the complexity. The two primary objectives of management of the complexity are to (i) reduce the uncertainty of estimating project schedule and budget, and (ii) improve the performance of the team. Manag...

Previous research has introduced novel energy saving techniques such as the use of multiple VDD and VTH transistors, as well as transistor sizing, to limit storage energy and standby power. These techniques have been used to lower the power consumed in the non-critical paths of a design for a given performance specified by the critical path. In this report, a proposal to investigate how dual-su...

In this paper critical path analysis is used for predicting the behavior of conservative cellular network simulation on a distributed simulation environment. Parallel event traces, i.e. event traces that contain both real and null messages, are used for the analysis. A receive-process-send approach is proposed for computing the event execution times required by the critical path analysis. A pro...

Markov reward models are an important formalism by which to obtain dependability and performability measures of computer systems and networks. In this context, it is particularly important to determine the probability distribution function of the reward accumulated during a nite interval. The interval may correspond to the mission period in a mission-critical system , the time between scheduled...

socio-political metatheories based on ontological and epistemological foundations, could be devided to different objectivist and subjectivist fronts. according to such a devide, different interpretation of individual-society and agent-structure could be renderd. in contrast,critical metatheories that seek to transcend the contradiction between objectivity-subjectivity in the individual-society ...
