1. Abstract This paper summarizes findings related to dealing with the complexity of the design of vehicles for optimal dynamic performance under various driving scenarios. It describes how the authors and their students have been able to improve various algorithms and approaches over several years and where they stand today. The work reviewed starts with a MonteCarlo-based vehicle design metho...

Multi-criteria shortest path problems (MSPP) are called as NP-Hard. For MSPPs, a unique solution for optimizing all the criteria simultaneously will rarely exist in reality. Algorithmic and approximation schemes are available to solve these problems; however, the complexity of these approaches often prohibits their implementation on real-world applications. This paper describes the development ...

tourism as a growing industry needs special attention in developing countries. during last decades, nature based tourism has been growing faster than other tourism fields and it seems to grow even faster. ever growing demand for nature based tourism emphasizes the necessity of a holistic planning for preserving environment against degradation. objective of this study is to present a nature base...

This paper presents the conceptual design of a spatial decision support system (SDSS) proposed for Victoria’s Westernport region that aims for the sustainable and integrated (whole-of-catchment) management of regional natural resources. It is a solution integrating a range of approaches including, GIS technology, a scenario management tool, state-of-art terrestrial and marine models, environmen...
