The Fisher market model is one of the most fundamental resource allocation models in economics. In a Fisher market, the prices and allocations of goods are determined according to the preferences and budgets of buyers to clear the market. In a Fisher market game, however, buyers are strategic and report their preferences over goods; the marketclearing prices and allocations are then determined ...

factor demand behavior such as energy demand has an important role in the economic analysis. this issue is a major concern in the developing countries (e.g. iran) which are benefited from vast energy resources. in this paper, the third generation of factor demand models is used to analyze the behavior of capital adjustment in the iranian manufacturing industries. the dataset covers the two-digi...

This paper applies the Jones Kierzkowski model to the contract manufacturing service industry. Stylized facts of that industry imply a theory of non-convex general equilibrium. The cost structure combines a constant marginal cost and a positive fixed cost; Marshalian free entry free exit prevails. This implies a distinct market structure (which is nether perfect nor monopolistic competition, no...

The Service Location Protocol (SLP) is a proposed standard from IETF. It provides a flexible and scalable service discovery framework in IP network, and it can work with or without a directory service. This paper presents mSLP Mesh-enhanced Service Location Protocol. mSLP proposes to use a fully meshed peering Directory Agent (DA) architecture. Peer DAs exchange service registration information...

As Building Information Modeling (BIM) becomes the predominant technology in construction industry, contractors, amongst other activities, need to conduct Site Logistics Planning (SLP) BIM environment during different project phases. 4D modelling is an important step towards developing models ready for execution phase. However, such models, currently no standard exist which would guide contract...

Stochastic linear programming (SLP) models involve multivariate integrals. Although in the discretely distributed case these integrals become sums they typically contain a large amount of terms. The purpose of this paper is twofold: On the one hand we discuss the usage of bounds concerning integrals for constructing SLP algorithms and secondly we point out the role of bounds–based algorithms fo...

The Peruvian food industry plays a crucial role in the country’s economy, but it faces major challenge form of low labor productivity. This problem not only hinders industry’s growth also negatively impacts company profits. study proposes model for improvement using SLP and Lean tools to address underlying causes productivity company. objective this research is enhance achieve or surpass standa...

Congestion games constitute an important class of non-cooperative games which was introduced by Rosenthal in 1973. In recent years, several extensions of these games were proposed to incorporate aspects that are not captured by the standard model. Examples of such extensions include the incorporation of risk sensitive players, the modeling of altruistic player behavior and the imposition of tax...

The goal of this chapter is to describe the capabilities and the usage of SLP–IOR, our interactive model management system for stochastic linear programming (SLP). The main features of SLP–IOR are the following: the system is intended to support the entire life cycle of a model, including model formulation, analysis of the model instance, solving it, and analyzing the solution. A main design ch...
