In this paper, the minimization of the maximum aggregate inventory of all products for the common cycle time approach to the scheduling problem of a multi-products single machine system is considered. In the case of non-zero set up time and limited resources, a simply and easy to apply rule has been obtained for this optimization problem. Using this rule, one can obtain the optimal production s...

Abstract In this survey, we present an overview on (Modal) Temporal Logic Programming in view of its application to Knowledge Representation and Declarative Problem Solving. The syntax extension logic programs is the result combining usual rules with temporal modal operators, as Linear-time (LTL). paper, focus main recent results non-monotonic formalism called Equilibrium (TEL) that defined for...

We present promising results for real-time vehicle visual detection, obtained with adaBoost using new original “keypoints presence features”. These weak-classifiers produce a boolean response based on presence or absence in the tested image of a “keypoint” (~ a SURF interest point) with a descriptor sufficiently similar (i.e. within a given distance) to a reference descriptor characterizing the...

We study optimal equilibria in multi-player games. An equilibrium is optimal for a player, if her payoff is maximal. A tempting approach to solving this problem is to seek optimal Nash equilibria, the standard form of equilibria where no player has an incentive to deviate from her strategy. We argue that a player with the power to define an equilibrium is in a position, where she should not be ...

In order to carry out experimental investigations on radial inflow gas turbine, a special test laboratory was designed and constructed at Sharif University of Technology. This laboratory is introduced in the present paper and experimental procedures are elaborated on. Then, some test results are presented and discussed. The trends of performance characterisitics match our expectation and show g...
