In this study, a survey-based multi-criteria decision-making methodology has been developed for the subcontractor selection problem. The survey is carried out in relevant main business areas under work type of company. These are evaluated according to determined dimensions. For methodology, initially, FUCOM weighting method used calculate relative importance and Then, ranking selecting subcontr...

Long-term sustainability in water supply systems is a major challenge due to resources depletion, climate change and population growth. This paper presents scenario-based approach for performance assessment of intervention strategies (WRSS). A system dynamics used modelling the key WRSS components their complex interactions with natural human combined multi-criteria decision analysis each scena...

Abstract We study the foundations of variational inference, which frames posterior inference as an optimisation problem, for probabilistic programming. The dominant approach in practice is stochastic gradient descent. In particular, a variant using so-called reparameterisation estimator exhibits fast convergence traditional statistics setting. Unfortunately, discontinuities, are readily express...

IEEE Concurrency Structured Development of Parallel Programs presents a structured programming methodology for parallel computations that ensures portability, programmability, and good performance. The book’s ultimate goal is to develop a suitable programming language for parallel programming and its compiler. This language is meant to deliver typical parallel constructs (skeletons) and their r...
