Supply Chain (SC) design problems are often characterized with uncertainty related to the decisionmaking parameters. The Stochastic Goal Programming (SGP) was one of the aggregating procedures proposed to solve the SC problems. However, the SGP does not integrate explicitly the Decision-Maker’s preferences. The aim of this paper is to utilize the Chance Constrained Programming and the Satisfact...

If an agent does not have complete information about the world-state, it must reason about alternative possible states of the world and consider whether any of its actions can reduce the uncertainty. Agents controlled by a contingent planner seek to generate a robust plan, that accounts for and handles all eventualities, in advance of execution. Thus a contingent plan may include sensing action...

In this paper, we have studied the vanishing and relative Cohen-Macaulyness of the functor for relative Cohen-Macauly filtered modules with respect to the ideal  (RCMF). We have shown that the for relative Cohen-Macaulay modules holds for any relative Cohen-Macauly module with respect to  with ........

In this paper we propose a novel semantic label transfer method using supervised geodesic propagation (SGP). We use supervised learning to guide the seed selection and the label propagation. Given an input image, we first retrieve its similar image set from annotated databases. A Joint Boost model is learned on the similar image set of the input image. Then the recognition proposal map of the i...

The Stability and Growth Pact (SGP) has come in for severe criticism recently and has even been labelled "stupid" by the supposed guardian of its provisions, President of the European Commission Romano Prodi. A member of possible refinements have been proposed by several governments notably those of France and the United Kingdom as well as by many academic economists. Since most of these propos...

Abstract In this paper, we use graph theory to solve wave scattering problems in the discrete dipole approximation. As a key result of work, presence active scatterers, present systematic method find arbitrary large-order zero eigenvalue exceptional points (EPs). This is achieved by solving set non-linear equations that interpret, picture, as vanishing sums events. We then show how total field ...
