Budget allocation in project risk response is a vital issue management since it relates to reasonable utilization of strict budgets and effective mitigations the risks that typify projects. This paper presents an integrated method based on optimization model fault tree analysis for allocating budget from preventive protective perspective. The proposed consists three main steps. first step analy...

In order to achieve a specific result, firm’s problem-solving activities can be thought of as process that combines physical and cognitive actions. Its internal organization determines how information inputs are distributed among different task units and, the workload is distributed. We tested case study related Iranian small medium enterprises (SMEs). used NCA analysis creative state-of-the-ar...

In marketing planning, advertisers seek to maximize the number of customers by allocating given budgets to each media channel effectively. The budget allocation problem with a bipartite influence model captures this scenario; however, the model is problematic because it assumes there is only one advertiser in the market. In reality, there are many advertisers which are in conflict of advertisem...

This comprehensive work explores the research performed inoptimization of the collection bin and in recycle bin location-allocation issues in solidwaste management. Although the collection phase of solid waste management accountsfor a significant proportion of the municipal budget, it has attracted only limitedattention of the researchers. Optimization of the collection bin and recycle bin loca...

In part due to the increasing demand for citizen participation in public decision processes, participatory budgets are becoming increasingly popular in many municipalities. As there is little methodology available for this type of activities and Information Technologies are scarcely used in them, we describe a prototype of a web-based decision support tool for participatory budget problems. We ...

In cooperative networks, a variety of resource allocation problems can be formulated as constrained optimization with system-wide objective e.g., maximizing the total system throughput, capacity or ergodic capacity, subject to constraints from individual users, e.g. minimum data rate, transmit power limit, and from the system, e.g. power budget, total number of subcarriers, availability of the ...

We consider a variation of the subset selection problem in ranking and selection, where motivated by recently developed global optimization approaches applied to simulation optimization, our objective is to identify the top-m out of k designs based on simulated output. Using the optimal computing budget framework, we formulate the problem as that of maximizing the probability of correctly selec...
