We present the design of a motion planning algorithm that ensures safety for an autonomous vehicle. In particular, we consider multimodal distribution over uncertainties; example, uncertain predictions future trajectories surrounding vehicles reflect discrete decisions, such as turning or going straight at intersections. develop computationally efficient, scenario-based approach solves problem ...

While society benefits from Arctic shipping, it is necessary to recognize that ship operations in waters pose significant risks people, the environment, and property. To support management of those risks, this article presents a comprehensive approach addressing both short-term operational as well related long-term extreme ice loads. For an extended version Polar Operational Limit Assessment Ri...

maharlou-bakhtegan catchment in the southern part of iran is faced with water scarcity.this problem is exacerbated by environmental degradation, climate change effects, mismanagementof water resources, along with a major dependence of water demand supplies on the limitedgroundwater resources. in this study, a combined approach of dpsir model along with the scenarioanalysis was employed to deriv...

Kotler and Caslione have recently published a new book Chaotics which stresses the importance of scenario analysis in marketing, especially in turbulent times. The goal of this paper is to show how an agent-based simulator could be practically used as a valuable supporting tool for the marketing analysis of opportunities and threats on retail markets.

Frameworks for IT evaluation have been extensively discussed in the past. Until recently, research had concentrated on advancing classic approaches such as monetary cost/benefit considerations or strategic management matrices, but that constriction to known methods has considerably softened. More researchers now use economic models in IT evaluation. Their contributions open exciting new perspec...
