Testing Process Predictions of Models of Risky Choice: A Quantitative Model Comparison Approach
This article presents a quantitative model comparison contrasting the process predictions of two prominent views on risky choice. One view assumes a trade-off between probabilities and outcomes (or nonlinear functions thereof) and the separate evaluation

Analysis of dispatching rules application on scheduling problem in flexible-flow shop production [PDF]
In this paper we analyzed a group of simple heuristic methods, which are used for solving the scheduling problem in manufacturing and services. The analysis was performed on the scheduling problem in a flexible-flow shop production, which is known by the

A Multi-PR Heuristic for Distributed Multi-Project Scheduling With Uncertain Duration
Multiple projects are often managed and run in a decentralized setting. In this paper, considering the uncertainty in project implementation, we study the distributed multi-project scheduling problem with uncertain duration.

The dictionaries in which we learn to think [PDF]
Taking its title from the discussion of a ‘new Meno’ to be found in Difference and Repetition, through an examination of the link between learning and thinking set out across Deleuze\u27s work this paper charts the important sense in which philosophical ...

A Novel Priority Rule Heuristic: Learning from Justification
The Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem consists of finding start times for precedence-constrained activities which compete over renewable resources, with the goal to produce the shortest schedule. The method of Justification is a very popular post-processing schedule optimization technique which, although it is not clear ...

Solving the Fixed Charge Transportation Problem by New Heuristic Approach [PDF]
The fixed charge transportation problem (FCTP) is a deployment of the classical transportation problem in which a fixed cost is incurred, independent of the amount transported, along with a variable cost that is proportional to the amount shipped.
