This paper develops a dynamic model of retirement withdrawal planning that allows retirees and financial planners to improve the probability of retirement portfolio success while simultaneously increasing the average withdrawal rate. The key elements of the model are periodic adjustments of retirement withdrawal rates based on both portfolio performance and remaining life expectancy, and Monte ...

In this paper, we describe a method of extending the sensor planning abilities of the “MVP” Machine Vision Planning system to plan viewpoints for monitoring a preplanned robot task. The dynamic sensor planning system presented here analyzes geometric models of the environment and of the planned motions of the robot, as well as optical models of the vision sensor. Using a combination of swept vo...

Path planning is dynamic when the path is continually recomputed as more information becomes available. A computational framework for dynamic path planning is proposed which has the ability to provide navigational directions during the computation of the plan. Path planning is performed using a potential eld approach. We use a speciic type of potential function a harmonic function-which has no ...

Dynamic Strategic Planning is an effective method for the development of rational policies for the intelligent, effective development of technology or large-scale engineering projects. It is: • Dynamic in that it explicitly recognizes the risk and uncertainties necessarily associated with any forecast about the future performance and acceptance of any technology, and thus the need to build flex...

Rapid growth of informal settlements in developing countries constitutes one of the most intriguing forms of urbanization. However, factors and theories underpinning this rapid and prevalent dynamic of informal settlements are often restricted to the descriptive phase. Limited studies have been undertaken to effectively demonstrate how these factors and theories can be incorporated into a frame...

strategic environmental assessment can be viewed as a process to integrate the concept ofsustainable development into planning. in this context, sea can be regarded as a method that regulates theplanning process to a state of sustainable development. however, to reach that goal it is necessary to achieve full integration of planning and the sea process.therefore this paper considers the integra...

A CMOS differential-mode exponential voltage-to-current converter is presented which is based on the approximated Taylor’s series expansion. The proposed circuit has been fabricated in a 0.5μm N-well CMOS process. Experimental results show that the output dynamic range of the proposed differential-mode exponential voltage-to-current converter can be 15dB while the nonlinear error is less than 1...
