This work discusses the case study of a bus company that needs to evolve its ERP system to enhance the managerial strategic control over the maintenance process of the bus fleet. This maintenance process was initially characterized by a poor performance that caused the low quality of the final service to the customer. The solution to the problem, we discuss in this article, is the integration o...

In the context of liberalized markets, market outcomes generally result from the strategic interactions of all market players. Generation company (Genco), as the distributed players, build their subjective demand evaluations (SDFs) about market for optimal bidding purpose. Due to the differences in terms of data availability and modeling techniques, subjective demand models held by various Genc...

1. introduction language teachers frequently observe a gap between their students' potential competence and their performance in the class. anderson (1993) attributes this to the fact that human has a limited processing capacity and is not able to attend to various aspects of a task simultaneously. this limitation causes l2 learners not to be able to focus on both meaning and form at the same t...

The mobile agent based paradigm is a promising computing paradigm in wireless sensor networks, which has many unique advantages over the traditional client/server paradigm. However, the question on how to model the mobile agent itinerary in sensor networks, is left unsolved. The design of the mobile agent migration itinerary has a large impact on the performance of collaborative processing, whi...

Planning-based techniques are powerful tools for automated narrative generation, however, as the planning domain grows in the number of possible actions traditional planning techniques suffer from a combinatorial explosion. In this work, we apply Monte Carlo Tree Search to goal-driven narrative generation. We demonstrate our approach to have an order of magnitude improvement in performance over...

background: self-care needs are major problems among stroke patients. nurses can support them through interventions such as education, a change in their attitude and emphasis on their remaining abilities. however, research has shown some weak points in the quality of care given to these patients. so the aim of this study was to improve the nurses’ practice in self-care education to stroke patie...

Severe weather avoidance programs (SWAP) due to convective weather are common in many of the busiest terminal areas in the US National Airspace System (NAS). In order to make efficient use of available airspace in rapidly evolving convective weather, it is necessary to predict the impacts of the weather on key resources (e.g., departure and arrival routes and fixes), with frequent updates as th...

Coordinated whole-body motions are key for achieving the full potential of humanoids performing tasks in human environments and in cooperation with humans. We present a multi-skill motion planning and learning framework which is able to address several complex whole-body coordinations and as well detection and imitation of motion constraints. The framework is composed of three main parts: first...
