Daily real-time nowcasts (current conditions) and 2-day forecasts of environmental conditions in the Chesapeake Bay have been continuously available for 4 years. The use a 3-D hydrodynamic-biogeochemical model with 1–2 km resolution output every 6 h that includes salinity, water temperature, pH, aragonite saturation state, alkalinity, dissolved oxygen, hypoxic volume. Visualizations are through...

This project proposes to eliminate homogeneous cluster setup in a parallel data processing environment. A homogeneous cluster setup supports static nature of processing which is a huge disadvantage for optimising the response time towards clients. Parallel data processing is performed more often in today's internet and it is very important for the server to deliver the services to its clie...

This paper introduces and compares several formulations of a production scheduling problem with sequence-dependent and time-dependent setup times on a single machine. The setup time is divided into two parts: one that can be performed at any time and another one that is restricted to be made outside of a given time interval. As a result, the setup time between two jobs is a function of the comp...
