Interdiction Games on Markovian PERT Networks

Daniel Kuhn, Wolfram Wiesemann, Eli Gutin

In a stochastic interdiction game a proliferator aims to minimize the expected duration of a nuclear weapons development project, and an interdictor endeavors to maximize the project duration by delaying some of the project tasks. We formulate static and d ...

Images des microcosmes flottants

Olivier Nicolas Meystre

This research focuses on the premise that depiction is quintessential to the conception of an architectural project. The representation also provides insights regarding how the architects design the architecture. This thesis is intended towards understandi ...

The activity path approach to activity pattern modeling

Michel Bierlaire, Antonin Danalet

In this presentation, we propose a model for the simultaneous choice of activity types, order, start times and durations of activity episodes in a sequence. In particular, we develop a framework for choice set generation based on path choice to deal with t ...

The Stochastic Time-Constrained Net Present Value Problem

Daniel Kuhn, Wolfram Wiesemann

The successful management of capital-intensive development and engineering projects requires a careful timing of the involved cash in- and outflows. To this end, the project management literature proposes to schedule the project activities so as to maximiz ...

Iso-level tool path planning for free-form surfaces

Bailin Deng

The aim of tool path planning is to maximize the efficiency against some given precision criteria. In practice, scallop height should be kept constant to avoid unnecessary cutting, while the tool path should be smooth enough to maintain a high feed rate. H ...

Activity pattern modeling: A path choice approach

Michel Bierlaire, Antonin Danalet

In Switzerland, the largest railway stations are called "RailCities" by the Swiss Railways. It emphasizes their transformation into place to live and perform several different activities, similar to a small-scale city. Similar concerns than in urban areas ...

Scarcity and Ocean Space - Case-Study Barents Sea, Norway

Nancy Raewyn Couling

Urban systems operate at a multitude of scales, densities and levels of specialization over vast areas of the planet, as has been pointed out by Lefebvre in The Production of Space and The Urban Revolution and more recently by Neil Brenner and Christian Sc ...

Aerobic Granules: Microbial Landscape and Architecture, Stages, and Practical Implications

Christof Holliger, Graciela Gonzalez Gil

For the successful application of aerobic granules in wastewater treatment, granules containing an appropriate microbial assembly able to remove contaminants should be retained and propagated within the reactor. To manipulate and/or optimize this process, ...

Local control of protein binding and cell adhesion by patterned organic thin films

Andreas Stephan Lesch, Gunther Wittstock

Control of the cell adhesion and growth on chemically patterned surfaces is important in an increasing number of applications in biotechnology and medicine, for example implants, in-vitro cellular assays, and biochips. This review covers patterning techniq ...

Multi-resource allocation in stochastic project scheduling

Daniel Kuhn, Wolfram Wiesemann

We propose a resource allocation model for project scheduling. Our model accommodates multiple resources and decision-dependent activity durations inspired by microeconomic theory. First, we elaborate a deterministic problem formulation. In a second stage, ...
