the task of optimally assigning military ordinance to enemy targets, often termed weapon target allocation (wta) problem, has become a major focus of modern military thought where a cost effective allocation is required without degrading the required kill performance. the paper presents three main weapon allocation techniques namely uniform weapon allocation, first-in-first weapon allocation an...

the market for carbon dioxide rights emerged as one of the tools applicable to the implementation of the measures adopted by the kyoto protocol to combat climate change. in this paper we analyze the case of spain, because their peculiar administrative division into seventeen autonomous communities, it is relevant to a detailed study of emissions and allowances of the industries that make up ...

Allocation of construction risks between clients and their contractors has a significant impact on the total construction costs. This paper presents a system dynamics (SD)-based approach for quantitative risk allocation. Using the proposed SD based approach, all the factors affecting the risk allocation process are modeled. The contractor’s defensive strategies against the one-sided risk alloca...

this research presents a mathematical model for oil and gas optimal allocation to different sectors in iran using operations research techniques. sectors are residential and commercial, transportation, industries, agriculture, exports, injection to oil reservoirs and power plans as a secondary energy producer. optimal allocation of energy resources to end-uses from 2011 to 2021 has been done us...

background: healthcare authorities, in all around the world, are faced with resources limitations and limitless needs of citizens. therefore, optimal resources allocation, particularly in the health sector and emergency system, seems to be of great importance. the present study aimed to determine the optimality rate of patients' distribution to hospitals by emergency stations based on the trans...

resource allocation techniques have recently appeared as a widely recognized feature in lte networks. most of existing approaches in resource allocation focus on maximizing network’s utility functions. the great potential of utility function in improving resource allocation and enhancing fairness and mean opinion score (mos) indexes has attracted large efforts over the last few years. in this p...

An equitable risk allocation between contracting parties plays a vital role in enhancing the performance of the project. This research presents a new quantitative risk allocation approach by integrating fuzzy logic and bargaining game theory. Owing to the imprecise and uncertain nature of players’ payoffs at different risk allocation strategies, fuzzy logic is implemented to determine the value...
