Sport tournament planning becomes a complex task in the presence of heterogeneous requirements from teams, media, fans and other parties. Existing approaches to sport tournament planning often rely on precomputed tournament schemes which may be too rigid to cater for these requirements. Existing work on sport tournaments suggests a separation of the planning process into three phases. In this w...

This paper surveys some recent theoretical work in incorporating the dynamics of robot models in motion planning algorithms. Such work is often referred in the literature as kinodynamic motion planning. We rst give an overview of the problem in general and how it diiers from motion planning with pure kinematics. We then describe three model algorithms, each representing one of three broad categ...

A case-based method is important activity for variety system modeling in system architecture. The project planning management method and work breakdown structure is a reason why cost is wasted and a number of project planning is failed. It is necessary to develop a structure of work breakdown structure identification and output selection along to project's planning specificity in project planni...

Design-oriented frameworks are a type of HumanComputer Interaction (HCI) discipline knowledge. They are intended to support iterative `specify-and-implement’ design practice, by assisting designers to create models of speci® c design problems, within a class of design problem. This paper presents a design-oriented framework for a class of HCI design problem, expressed as a the planning and cont...

Most of the work on analysing and comparing planning strategies has taken the form of empirical experimentation using what have become standard benchmark domains. Characterisations of planners are given through speciications of the algorithms which implement these strategies. These give a procedural deenition of the behaviour of the planning systems under analysis but do not give access to the ...

The growing use of "features" in the design and manufacturing communities is due to the fact that features better capture the functionality or intent associated with a part design. The process planning team at the National Bureau of Standards is using features and their associated functionality to derive process plans from a part model in a semi-automatic fashion. The process planning team beli...

The redesign of information technology (IT)-enabled work processes often necessitates fundamental design changes to the intended work process, the IT platform hosting the work process, or both. Research suggests that such design changes often can be traced to earlier decisions involving endogenous adaptation or internal organizational change. Two such decisions are a firm’s technology position ...

When different members of a work group develop their own individual plans, or sets of tasks to achieve desired goals, there may be conflicting and synergistic interactions among these plans. Conflicts may arise when one task negates the effect of another task, or two tasks compete for the same resource. Synergies may arise if the desired effects of some tasks are also accomplished by other task...
