periodic vehicle routing problem focuses on establishing a plan of visits to clients over a given time horizon so as to satisfy some service level while optimizing the routes used in each time period. this paper presents a new effective heuristic algorithm based on data mining tools for periodic vehicle routing problem (pvrp). the related results of proposed algorithm are compared with the resu...

Multi-core systems have become prevalent in the last years, because of their favorable properties in terms of energy consumption, computing power and design complexity. First attempts have been made to devise WCET analyses for multi-core processors, which have to deal with the problem that the cores may experience interferences during accesses to shared resources. To limit these interferences, ...

In this paper, we propose a new residual analysis method using Fourier series transform into fuzzy time series model for improving the forecasting performance. This hybrid model takes advantage of the high predictable power of fuzzy time series model and Fourier series transform to fit the estimated residuals into frequency spectra, select the low-frequency terms, filter out high-frequency term...

Early in the design cycle, the two main approaches for verifying timing constraints and dimensioning automotive embedded networks are worst-case schedulability analysis and simulation. The first aim of the paper is to demonstrate that both provide complementary results and that, most often, none of them alone is sufficient. In this paper, we present a simulation approach accounting for the cloc...

This study was carried out in a completely randomized design 3×3×4 factorial arrangement in three periods of rearing in spring 1997. Density of 300 larvae was assigned for each oval tank with 0.1m2 surface area, 30cm deep, a volume of 20lit and 0.25 lit/min of water flow per minute at Shahid Rajaie fish breeding and culture center in Sari, north of Iran. The fries were divided into ...

Nowadays, with the growth of technology and the industrialization of societies, work-related accidents, and consequently the threat of human capital and material resources are among the problems of the countries of the world. The most important legal solution in most countries to control occupational accidents and illnesses is to conduct periodic site visits and identify hazardous sites. To the...

This paper tackles the problem of simultaneously designing a partition of an uncertain set and its corresponding set of multiple controllers that optimize the worst-case performance of a linear time invariant system under parametric uncertainty. The parametric uncertainty region is assumed to be convex polytopic, which is also partitioned into a set of convex polytopic local regions. It is desi...

drought is a climatic phenomenon that causes much detrimental influence on ecological environments. this research investigates the performance of meteorological drought indices in different time scales in thetajan basin in iran. indices undergone in this study include: percent normal precipitation index (pnpi), z-score index (zsi), standard precipitation index (spi), china z index (czi), modifi...
