I called Bob Kahn and had a good chat with him about some aspects of the ICCC meeting demonstration. The points discussed and his answers were the following. What is the physical environment going to be like? Bob has arranged for the Georgetown Ballroom of the Hilton Hotel; it has 3000 square feet probably about 75x40 (exact dimensions are not known to Bob at this time). A carpeted false floor ...

Young adulthood is a critical developmental period for establishing life-long health behaviors. However, too little attention has been paid to young adult health promotion. The purpose of this study was to describe the processes of development and implementation involved in a collaborative university-wide health promotion program and to evaluate the achievements of the program.A 3-day universit...

We describe a new solution approach for order sequencing which reflects the build-to-order strategy of the European automobile industry. Therefore, it has to cope with a daily changing variety of customer orders. Each order consists of a set of commodities which are implemented while the order sequence passes through a body shop, a paint shop, and an assembly shop. Existing solution approaches ...

This paper focuses on the quantitative analysis of RFID based vehicle toll collection system. Since we conduct long before implementation infrastructure, approach is realized by UML and SPN to capture system dynamics carry out multiple performance tests possible infrastructure. Thus, ensure installation correct number booth in entrance a bridge or highway so that traffic congestion can be kept ...

This paper extends the notion of toll pricing and the toll pricing framework previously developed for fixed demand traffic assignment [4, 13] to the problem with elastic demand. The system problem maximizes net benefit to the network users [9, 20] and the user problem is the usual one of finding equilibrium with elastic demand. We define and characterize T , the set of all tolls for the user pr...
