 We introduce a dynamic and stochastic transportation problem consisting of two subproblems. For parcel transportation in hub-and-spoke networks, swap containers are used to carry out hub-to-hub shipments. This constitutes a pickup and delivery problem on the operational level. On the tactical level, empty swap containers are balanced over the hub-network in order to match the stochastic deman...

At the top of operational and tactical levels is the scheduling problem. It is here where decisions are made on how to operate machinery to produce a set of different PCBs (usually how to execute the weekly production plan). The next hierarchy level includes grouping and line balancing problems. For the linebalancing problem, the challenge is balancing the workload of different machines when pr...

The interactive game theoretical approach to tactics and behavioral self-organization is developed. Though it uses the interactive game theoretical formalization of dialogues as psycholinguistic phenomena, the crucial role is played by the essentially new concept of a tactical game. Applications to the perception processes and related subjects (memory, recollection, image understanding, imagina...

This paper presents a new application for auditory display, the use of sound to assist the analysis of tactics and tactical training in sports games. For a pilot study we have set up a system for the video recording and processing (i.e. tracking of the players and the ball) of tactical training cycles in handball. An auditory display was designed to meet the requirements for supporting and exte...

This paper addresses the problem of developing an expert system to aid the G2 intelligence analyst in performing the tactical indications of warning task. These include assimilating numerous reports based on sensor and intelligence data (in signal and symbol form); combining such knowledge with information pertaining to terrain, weather patterns, enemy organization, equipment and general cababi...

Supply chain management deals with the efficient coordination of enterprises along a value chain to provide goods and services to end users. While the operational and strategic aspects of supply chain management have been researched to some extent, one of the questions for enterprises is the management and controlling of supply chain operations on a tactical level. We discuss the activities on ...

The impact of tactical knowledge on negotiator behaviors and joint outcomes was examined. It was hypothesized that the availability of written descriptions of negotiation tactics would provide negotiators with the knowledge necessary to apply in a mixed-motive negotiation and that, as a result, these negotiators would engage in different behaviors leading to higher joint outcomes than would neg...

This paper investigates a novel approach to integrating tactical and strategical decision making and applies it to scheduling the operation of autonomous robot office couriers. In this approach the robot makes strategical (farsighted) decisions while it executes a plan using tactical (immediate) decisions and overwrites tactical decisions after strategical decisions have been reached (if necess...

On the evening of 13 November 2015, three terrorists equipped with military-grade firearms and explosive jackets penetrated Bataclan, a Paris music hall containing 1500 people [1]. The terrorists started a massive execution of the people located in the orchestra pit. Terrorists then moved to the upper circle to take 400 people hostage. Immediately, RAID (Research, Assistance, Intervention, Dete...
