background different strategies for addressing the challenge of prioritizing elective patients efficiently and fairly have been introduced in norway. in the time period studied, there were three possible outcomes for elective patients that had been through the process of priority setting: (i) high priority with assigned individual maximum waiting time; (ii) low priority without a maximum waiti...

The task of requirement reprioritization is an important activity initiated due to the dynamism in the developing & the working environment of the software. Reprioritization is focused on the re-allotment of priorities to both implemented as well as non implemented ones. Focusing the implemented ones will ensure quality of regression testing and stressing on non implemented ones will ensure to ...

trous 2007–2008 food price crisis, it was that it prompted governments and international donors to re-examine their priorities for agricultural development. They committed to invest in agriculture and food security in a manner that prioritizes small-scale producers (especially women), enhances the environment and contributes to the development of rural economies. While their promises to spend m...

There are many requirements prioritization techniques and selecting the most appropriate one is a decision problem in its own rights. This paper takes a closer look at the six requirement prioritization techniques and put them in a controlled experiment with the objective of understanding differences regarding ease of use, total time taken, scalability, accuracy, and total number of comparisons...

Flexible case-base maintenance (FCBM) and adaptation-guided feature deletion (AGFD) extend case-base maintenance (CBM) research. FBCM examines superficial properties of cases and their features such as the size of a case or the rarity of a feature. Then it deletes either entire cases, or components of cases, measuring competence by the number of problems solved and measuring size by the number ...

Ravigopal Vennelakanti Anshuman Sahu, Ph.D. Umeshwar Dayal, Ph.D. OVERVIEW: Disruptive innovation in an unconventional oil and gas industry such as the shale industry offers a promise to change the world’s economies. Advances in technologies such as horizontal directional drilling and hydraulic fracturing have fueled growth in the industry. However, oil and gas industry operators are facing tou...

due to increasing rate of flood risk throughout the world, including iran, it is necessary to identify and prioritize flood-contributing areas for flood control activities. in this study, a new approach on unit flood response method called “flood reduction method” was introduced which is applicable to prioritization of sub-basins for flood control activities. it was used to prioritize upstream ...

This paper analyzes the applicability of the task programming model in the parallelization of the wavefront pattern. Computations on this type of problem are characterized by a data dependency pattern across a data space, which can produce a variable number of independent tasks through the traversal of such a space. We explore several implementations of this pattern, based on the current state-...

Objective. The purpose of the work is to increase efficiency process task allocation through preliminary decomposition and prioritization tasks based on collective decision-making (CDM) in swarm robotic systems (SRS). Method. Task implemented using a hybrid strategy, majority principle changing opinions distributed registry technology for disseminating among SRS agents aggregating accumulated k...
