We address a dynamic repair shop scheduling problem in the context of military aircraft fleet management where the goal is to maintain a full complement of aircraft over the longterm. A number of flights, each with a requirement for a specific number and type of aircraft, are already scheduled over a long horizon. We need to assign aircraft to flights and schedule repair activities while consid...

We provide a rather informal presentation of a prototype system for word alignment based on our previous translation equivalence approach, discuss the problems encountered in the shared-task on word-aligning of a parallel Romanian-English text, present the preliminary evaluation results and suggest further ways of improving the alignment accuracy.

There are three sections in this paper. The first is a philosophical discussion of the general problem of reasoning under limited deductive capacity. The second sketches a rigorous way of assigning probabilities to statements in pure arithmetic; motivated by the preceding discussion, it can nonetheless be read separately. The third is a philosophical discussion that highlights the shifting cont...

Abstract The proper allocation/distribution of limited resources is a traditional problem with various applications. mathematical formulation such problems usually includes constraints describing the set feasible solutions ( ), from which (nearly) optimal or equilibrium solution should be selected. Often more difficult to determine than find solution. Alternatively, already known often makes it...
