[ce1] major factors for a project to be successful are applying performance measurement and feedback tool. one such well-known performance measurement tool to control the project execution is earned value management (evm). evm uses the fundamental principle that trends in the past ca...

projects scheduling by the project portfolio selection, something that has its own complexity and its flexibility, can create different composition of the project portfolio. an integer programming model is formulated for the project portfolio selection and scheduling.two heuristic algorithms, genetic algorithm (ga) and simulated annealing (sa), are presented to solve the problem. results of cal...

Interpreting notated music and performing it expressively is a complex skill that requires years of practice. In the quest for understanding this phenomenon, a question that arises naturally is to what degree performance directives annotated in the score affect expressive variations of tempo and loudness. Computational models of musical expression typically focus on musical structure and do not...

during pre-project planning as an essential phase of a project, fundamental decisions that lead to project success or failure will make. this phase of a project is more important essentially in oil, gas and petrochemical mega projects that tremendous amount of resources should consume. uncertainty in the initial phases of the project is at the highest level and therefore major project decisions...
