An investor has to carefully select the location and size of new generation units it intends build, since adding capacity in a market affects profit from this may already own. To capture closed-loop characteristic, strategic investment (SI) can be posed as bilevel optimization. By analytically studying small market, we first show that its objective function non-convex discontinuous. Realizing e...

strategic selection problem is a multi-criteria problem which includes conflicting tangible and intangible criteria. in order to select the most appropriate strategic alternative it is necessary to make tradeoffs between these criteria as well as taking into account the resource limitations which may exist. available methods neglect the distance concept which exists between the alternatives wei...

We describe the foundations of a system for rule-based programming which integrates two powerful mechanisms: (1) matching with context variables, sequence variables, and regular constraints for their matching values; and (2) strategic programming with labeled rules. The system is called ρLog, and is built on top of the pattern matching and rule-based programming capabilities of Mathematica.

It is with a great significance to discuss the selection model of regional strategic emerging industry. First, the paper uses the fuzzy optimization theory to select the central industry of area as the regional strategic emerging industry and try to optimize the weight’s calculation in the multistage fuzzy comprehensive evaluation to get more accurate results. Then it will do a strategic emergi...

Rewriting [4] is a computation model used in computer science, algebra, logic and linguistics, amongst others. Its purpose is to transform syntactic objects (words, terms, programs, proofs, graphs, etc., which we will call generally expressions), by applying rewrite rules until a suitable simplied form is obtained. Given an expression and a set of rewrite rules, it is often the case that severa...

Properties such as logging, persistence, debugging, tracing, distribution, performance monitoring and exception handling occur in most programming paradigms and are normally very difficult or even impossible to modularize with traditional modularization mechanisms because they are cross-cutting. Recently, aspect-oriented programming has enjoyed recognition as a practical solution for separating...

This report is an overview of the eld of object oriented programming. It presents a brief historical perspective of the eld, then summarizes some major achievements. Four strategic research directions are then presented: technologiesintegration,software components, distributedprogramming, and open implementations. Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a technique for improving productivity, qual...

Roles of variables [6] are a new concept that can be utilized, e.g., in teaching programming to novices. Roles represent programming knowledge on a higher level than simple programming language knowledge. Role knowledge has traditionally been tacit but it can be made explicit and thus help students to understand the ways variables are used in programs. Roles are easy to adopt in teaching, too: ...

Programming language research covers a wide range of principles spanning a spectrum from pure to applied and employing methods and techniques ranging from theory to systems. In this working group we have concentrated on five central aspects of this: semantics, type systems, program analysis, program transformation, and implementation; other aspects of programming language research are covered b...
