Planning, scheduling and effective management of contingencies are crucial for the successful management of construction projects. In this paper we explore a mathematical represen...
Cluster or chamber tools are often used in the semiconductor industry. In a research environment, moving to smaller device dimensions requires experimentation with new chamber typ...
Many inference methods of queueing systems have been developed on the basis of Larson's QIE(queue inference engine) with the assumption of homogeneous Poisson arrivals. It in...
The complexity and the variety of the deployed timedependent systems, as well as the high degree of reliability required for their global functioning, justify the care provided to...
