The Flexible Group Spatial Keyword Query

open access: yes, 2017
We present a new class of service for location based social networks, called the Flexible Group Spatial Keyword Query, which enables a group of users to collectively find a point of interest (POI) that optimizes an aggregate cost function combining both ...

Durability of Soft Pneumatic Actuators: A Review and Benchmarking Protocol

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Lack of durability is a key challenge hindering the broad scale adoption of soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) in automation industries. This review provides a comprehensive overview of existing research on SPA durability, introduces a standardized durability benchmarking protocol to consolidate the testing of SPAs, and outlines promising directions for ...

Tractable Pathfinding for the Stochastic On-Time Arrival Problem

open access: yes, 2016
We present a new and more efficient technique for computing the route that maximizes the probability of on-time arrival in stochastic networks, also known as the path-based stochastic on-time arrival (SOTA) problem.

Performance of Heuristic Priority Rule for Multiskilled Resource-Constrained Scheduling

open access: yesInternational Journal of Emerging Trends in Engineering Research, 2021
Nowadays, without a classification system that helps the project manager to decide which heuristic applies when mitigating the multiskilled resource-constrainedscheduling, they must try several of rules until they find one that compares favorably (shortest duration) with the results of the other heuristic priority rules. This

AutomataGPT: Transformer‐Based Forecasting and Ruleset Inference for Two‐Dimensional Cellular Automata

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We introduce AutomataGPT, a generative pretrained transformer (GPT) trained on synthetic spatiotemporal data from 2D cellular automata to learn symbolic rules. Demonstrating strong performance on both forward and inverse tasks, AutomataGPT establishes a scalable, domain‐agnostic framework for interpretable modeling, paving the way for future ...

Fast Task Scheduling With Model Predictive Control Integrating a Priority-Based Heuristic

open access: yesIEEE Access
This paper presents a scalable Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithm for task scheduling and real time re-scheduling. The use case motivating the work is given by the problem of managing the integration activities involved in the final assembly of the

Introduction to the multi-skilled resource constrained multi project and multi type scheduling problem [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Project Management
In this paper, we extend the multi-skilled resource-constrained multi-project scheduling problem (MSRCMPSP) by introducing the concept of multiple project types (MSRCMPMTSP). The study considers two categories of projects: investment projects, which
