This paper describes an effort under way to develop pilot/vehicle interface (PVI) concepts that use computational situation assessment models and pilot workload metrics to drive the content, format, and modality of cockpit displays. The goal of this research is to develop PVI concepts that support a tactical pilot’s situation awareness and decision-making. The envisioned system is driven by two...

‘Openings’ are strategies for playing the beginning of a game, and are often described as sequences of low-level actions (as in chess, for example). This makes it easy to query a database of recorded games for useful information, such as an opening’s success rate, popularity, and more. ‘Tactical shooters’ are video games featuring pseudo-realistic tactical simulations. Here, openings are conven...

In this study, a cross-docking system is designed at strategic and tactical levels. For making the strategic decisions, a multi-objective nonlinear location allocation model for cross-docks is presented based on a distri-bution location allocation model by Andreas Klose and Andreas Drexl. The model is further developed to in-clude the whole supply chain members and the objective functions are w...

The multi-agent paradigm has become a useful tool in solving military problems. However, one of key challenges in multi-agent model for distributed warfare could be how to describe the microcosmic tactical warfare platforms actions. In this paper, a platform-level distributed warfare model based on multi-agent system framework is designed to tackle this challenge. The basic ideas include: Estab...

Capacity coordination, as the tactical level of hierarchical production planning in hybrid MTS/MTO systems, includes numerous important decisions. In this paper, two of these decisions i.e. finding the best strategy for the acceptance/rejection of incoming orders and determining orders’ due dates – are investigated. Also a simulation model is proposed to evaluate the efficiency of the presented...

Supply chain network design (SCND) problem has recently been gaining attention because an integrated management of the supply chain (SC) can reduce the unexpected/undesirable events and can affect definitely the efficiency of all the chain. A critical component of the planning activities of a manufacturing firm is the efficient design of its SC. Hence, SCND affords a sensitive platform for effi...

Air Traffic Flow and Capacity Management (ATFCM) is one of the constituent parts of Air Traffic Management (ATM). The goal of ATFCM is to make airport and airspace capacity meet traffic demand and, when capacity opportunities are exhausted, optimise traffic flows to meet the available capacity. One of the key enablers of ATFCM is the accurate estimation of future traffic demand. The available i...

The Capacitated Arc Routing Problem (CARP) is useful for modeling urban waste collection or winter gritting, at the operational decision level. Many applications require a tactical version, the periodic CARP (PCARP), in which the trips are planned over a multiperiod horizon, subject to frequency constraints. The paper presents this new and hard theoretical problem, its variants, and a powerful ...
