Much of present AI research is based on the assumption of computational systems with infinite resources, an assumption that is either explicitly stated or implicit in the work as researchers ignore the fact that most real-world tasks must be finished within certain time limits, and it is the role of intelligence to effectively deal with such limitations. Expecting AI systems to give equal treat...

Resource information managers typically use fixed approaches to manage information. However fixed solutions to information management are complicated by the fact that computing environments are not all the same and even within a single computing environment the characteristics of the information and its access patterns may change over the lifetime of the system. These changes motivate this work...

The paper presents two new results for the Dasgupta-Heal-Solow-Stiglitz model with an essential nonrenewable resource: (1) the pattern of resource extraction can be more important for sustainable growth than the pattern of saving when the Hotelling Rule modifier is not small enough; (2) the qualitative behavior of the long-run per capita output can be examined along any smooth enough path of ex...

In our country enterprise merger, people often concern in factors such as consideration fund, debt, fixed assets and so on. The human resources factor considered little. This article has analyzed human resource management on enterprise merger in the overseas enterprise, pointed out the domestic enterprise’s erroneous zone on enterprise merger and proposed the corresponding improvement measure.

Evolutionary and environmental economics have a potentially close relationship. This paper reviews past and identifies potential applications of evolutionary concepts and methods to environmental economics. This covers a number of themes: resource use and ecosystem management; growth and environmental resources; economic and evolutionary progress; and individual behavior and environmental polic...
