Purpose: To determine task rational distribution between technics specialized in intra-terminal movements is to perform mathematical modeling of lifting transport machine operation container terminal transshipment system given technological parameters and further multi-criteria optimization. Methods: Methods probability theory statistics as well expert estimates are used discover the distributi...

Multi-Agent Plan Recognition (MAPR) seeks to identify the dynamic team structures and team behaviors from the observations of the activity-sequences of a set of intelligent agents, based on a library of known team-activities (plan library). It has important applications in analyzing data from automated monitoring, surveillance, and intelligence analysis in general. In this paper, we formalize M...

Many firms these days, forced by increasing international competition and an unstable economy, are opting to specialize rather than generalize as a way of maintaining their competitiveness. Consequently, they cannot rely solely on themselves, but must cooperate by combining their advantages. To obtain the actual condition for this cooperation, a multi-layered network based on two different type...

A modification to the Dantzig and Fulkerson tanker scheduling problem is described. An insufficient number of vehicles and a utility associated with each vehicle delivery are assumed. The new problem is shown to be equivalent to a transshipment problem, the solution of which is the same as the maximal utility solution of the modified tanker scheduling problem. An example is given.

In this paper we introduce a new approach for controlling the topology of networks under interface constraints, along with routing the given traffic demands. Our approach is applicable to the situations in which each network node can form links with several potential neighbors. We formulate the routing problem as a multi-commodity flow problem for maximizing the throughput. We extend the multi-...
