In this paper, a new very fast fault simulation method to handle the X-fault model is proposed. The method is based on a two-phase procedure. In the first phase, a parallel exact critical path fault tracing is used to determine all the detected stuck-at faults in the circuit, and in the second phase a postprocess is launched which will determine the detectability of X-faults. Keywords-digital c...

This paper presents a project-oriented framework for multi-robot task scheduling. An agent-based architecture is designed to schedule tasks where robots are considered as resources. The study focused on the problems when the number of available robots is less than the required number. In this case, the problem becomes a resource-constrained scheduling problem. Initially, tasks are scheduled by ...

The purpose of this study was tc identify the relationship between reading Lchievemert and a set of social and individual variables through the use of a critical path analysis. Data, taken from Cycle II of the Naticnal Health Examination Survey, included statistics on a national sample of 7,119 children, ages six through eleven years. Four variables were included in this study: sex, race, age, ...

Project planning is part of project management, which is relates to the use of schedules such as Gantt charts to plan and subsequently report progress within the project environment. Initially, the project scope is defined and the appropriate methods for completing the project are determined. In this paper a new approach for the critical path analyzing a project network with random fuzzy activi...

Power and energy efficiency are major concerns in future supercomputing systems. We expect that applications will be constrained to operate under a power budget and achieving the expected levels of performance will be challenging. Understanding how power is consumed by an application throughout its different phases will be necessary to shift power to those resources on the critical path. In thi...

The predictive performance equation (PPE) is a mathematical model of learning and retention that uses regularities seen in human learning to predict future performance. Previous research (Collins, Gluck, Walsh Krusmark & Gunzelmann,, 2016) found that prior data could be used to inform PPE’s free parameters when generating predictions of a group’s aggregate performance, allowing for more accurat...

Rapid and efficient identification of patients eligible for clinical trials is on the critical path to the effective treatment of patients in a radiation oncology clinical setting. However, the Trial Physician Assistants (TPAs) that perform this work must read through many unstructured documents that have been received from regional hospitals and scanned in. The TPA must be familiar with a larg...

Peptide mapping is a widely used technique for the characterization of proteins. This Application Note demonstrates a robust LC method and design space for peptide mapping using a Quality by Design (QbD) approach. A therapeutic monoclonal antibody (mAb) was employed as the model protein in the current peptide mapping study. Fusion QbD software’s multivariate design and analysis capabilities, wh...

The main purpose of this research is adaptation of critical paths method [1] to the processes defined in BPEL. The critical path method is the specification based and simulation oriented method. In the paper it is show that under some assumptions the BPEL process may be considered as an embedded system, in which tasks are like services and communication between tasks is like coordination of the...
