Pressures for urban redevelopment are intensifying in all large cities. A new logic for urban development is required – green urbanism – that provides a spatial framework for directing population and investment inwards to brownfields and greyfields precincts, rather than outwards to the greenfields. This represents both a major opportunity and a major challenge for city planners in pluralist li...

Decisions in short-term planning and scheduling in multi-product multi-purpose plants are often taken in isolation from each other and may be based on conflicting objectives. This may result in decisions that are sub-optimal for the plant as a whole. A more integral perspective on the decision-making could lead to a better overall performance. This paper describes a mathematical reformulation o...

In this paper we report on ongoing verification and evaluation work within the MULTIDOC project. This project is situated in the field of multilingual automotive product documentation. One central task is the evaluation of existing off the shelf and research orientated language technology (LT) components for the purpose of supporting or even reorganising the documentation production chain along...

Within the world of computer graphics, images are often treated as “stand alone” entities that are used for dedicated purposes. Indeed, we tend to categorize images based on their eventual application such as advertising images, manufacturing models, working drawings, or even WWW logos. However, the fact exists that a graphical image can be manipulated into a wide variety of diverse formats fro...

CL development and especially the development of tools for CL convergence checking is a time and cost consuming task. The development of flexible CL checkers by reusing existing resources is a great challenge for the CL community today. The article presents some theoretical reflections and lessons learnt in ongoing CL projects on the subject of customisation and parametrisation, trying to show ...

We present “Tahakum”, an open source, extensible collection of software tools designed to enhance workflow on multichannel audio systems within complex multi-functional research and development environments. Tahakum aims to provide critical functionality required across a broad spectrum of audio systems usage scenarios, while at the same time remaining sufficiently open as to easily support mod...

In this literature review we discuss asynchronous multi agent motion planning. We first introduce fundamental ideas related to asynchronous multi agent motion planning such as asynchronous computation, multi agent systems and motion planning. We then discuss related work in asynchronous systems and motion planning of multi agent systems. We then discuss the application of asynchronous multi age...

Several interesting libraries for optimization have been proposed. Some focus on individual algorithms, or limited sets of them, and others problems. Frequently, the implementation one them does not precisely follow formal definition, they are difficult to personalize compare. This makes it perform comparative studies propose novel approaches. In this paper, we solve these issues with General P...

this paper is focused on the tactical design of steel supply chain (ssc). a general mathematical model is proposed to integrate production and transportation planning in multi-commodity ssc. the main purpose is to prepare a countrywide production and distribution plan in an ssc with three layers consisting of iron ore mines as suppliers, steel companies as producers, and subsidiary steel compan...
