due to increasing demand for the scarce available water throughout the world it is an extremely important matter, in water management, to make serious attempts in determining its true economic value. this paper discusses the optimal allocation of water to agriculture, the relatively true economic value of water as well as the cropping patterns for the shirvan barzo (sb) dam area in north kh...

We present a multiple shape correspondence method based on dynamic programming, that computes consistent bijective maps between all shape pairs in a given collection of initially unmatched shapes. As a fundamental distinction from previous work, our method aims to explicitly minimize the overall distortion, i.e., the average isometric distortion of the resulting maps over all shape pairs. We ca...

In this paper, we study an efficient approximate integer linear programming formulation of the general problem of one-dimensional periodic task scheduling under storage requirement, irrespective of machine constraints. We have already presented in [8] a theoretical framework that allows an optimal optimization of periodic storage requirement in a periodic schedule. This problem is used to optim...

strategic programming, complex supply chain, lean, production programming, suppliers selection,   electre this paper represents a model of strategic programming with limited resources in a complex supply chain. the main goal of the proposed model is to increase efficiency and effectiveness of the supply chain with respect to income increases and cost decreases. using special objective functions...
