Petroleum industry production systems are highly automatized. In this industry, all functions (e.g., planning, scheduling and maintenance) are automated and in order to remain comp...
We observe two deficiencies of current query processing and scheduling techniques for sensor networks: (1) A query execution plan does not adapt to the hardware characteristics o...
Large scale / mega projects are lengthy complex endeavors that require significant planning by management, engineers and construction personnel to ensure the success of the projec...
Simulation of dynamic complex systems—specifically, those comprised of large numbers of components with stochastic behaviors—for the purpose of probabilistic risk assessment f...
We present a discrete simulation model for software projects which explicitly takes a scheduling strategy as input. The model represents varying staff skill levels, component coup...
