The global business community requires graduates with skills and capabilities to cope with real-world interdisciplinary problems. Two key issues frequently noted are the silo disciplinary focus and the lack of exposure to responsible decision-making (RDM). IDLE (Interactive Dynamic Learning Environment) is a web-based computer simulated enterprise delivered through a systems approach broadening...

Virtual Environments (VE) present a complex problem with interesting non-trivial challenges for software development. The problems increase when considering VE that are both distributed and shared amongst multiple participants. The majority of existing systems supporting Large Scale VE (LSVE) are based on monolithic architectures, making maintenance and software reuse difficult at best. This pa...

operational variables of a mineral processing circuit are subjected to different variations. steady-statesimulation of processes provides an estimate of their ideal stable performance whereas their dynamicsimulation predicts the effects of the variations on the processes or their subsequent processes. in thispaper, a dynamic simulator containing some of the major equipment of mineral processing...

This paper presents a multi-objective mixed-integer nonlinear programming model to design a group layout of a cellular manufacturing system in a dynamic environment, in which the number of cells to be formed is variable. Cell formation (CF) and group layout (GL) are concurrently made in a dynamic environment by the integrated model, which incorporates with an extensive coverage of important ...

clinical learning occurs in the context of a dynamic environment. learning environment found to be one of the most important factors in determining the success of an effective teaching program. to investigate, from the attending and resident's perspective, factors that may affect student leaning in the educational hospital setting at shiraz university of medical sciences (sums). this study comb...

the motivation of this paper is to propose such equitable method for ranking all decision making units (dmus) in dynamic data envelopment analysis (ddea) framework. as far as we are aware there is not more studies in dynamic dea literature. what's more, in such cases the best operating unit is important to be sampled for the others in under evaluated time periods. however, in this special conce...

In this study, the problem of navigation in dynamic and unknown environment is investigated and a navigation method based on force field approach is suggested. It is assumed that the robot performs navigation in...

Abstract: Urban canyon is categorized as hard environment for positioning of a dynamic vehicle due to low number and also bad configuration of in-view satellites. In this paper, a tuning procedure is proposed to adjust the important factors in Kalman Filter (KF) using Genetic Algorithm (GA). The authors tested the algorithm on a dynamic vehicle in an urban canyon with hard condition and compare...
