The event-scheduling view of the discrete-event simulation technique is widely used to model and simulate dynamic systems. This paper presents DMOD, a formalization of this technique. It ooers two main advantages. First, it retains the powerful intuitions behind this technique yet makes it easier to use them. In particular, it proposes a new method for logically specifying event preemption. Sec...

this paper deals with leader-following and leaderless consensus problems of high-order multi-input/multi-output (mimo) multi-agent systems with unknown nonlinear dynamics in the presence of uncertain external disturbances. the agents may have different dynamics and communicate together under a directed graph. a distributed adaptive method is designed for both cases. the structures of the contro...

this paper presents the formulation and solution of the combinatorial multi-mode resource constrained multi-project scheduling problem. the focus of the proposed method is not on finding a single optimal solution, instead on presenting multiple feasible solutions, with cost and duration information to the project manager. the motivation for developing such an approach is due in part to practica...
