One of the most important decisions related to the efficient management of testing phase of software development life cycle is to determine when to stop testing and release the software in the market. Most of the testing processes are imperfect once. In this paper first we have discussed an optimal release time problem for an imperfect faultdebugging model due to Kapur et al considering effect ...

In practices, not only production but inspection processes are often not perfect, thereby generating defects and inspection errors. Previous imperfect-quality inventory studies, however, have mostly focused on developing cost-minimizing models that do not consider imperfect inspection processes and related defect sales return issues despite their practical significance. Thus, this study propose...

The growing share of financial assets that are held and managed by large institutional investors whose trades move prices contradicts the traditional asset pricing paradigm which assumes markets are competitive with small price-taking players. This paper relaxes the traditional price-taking assumption and instead presents a dynamic multi-asset, multi-large participant model of imperfect competi...

In medical research, clinical practice must often be undertaken with imperfect information from limited resources. This study applied Bayesian imperfect information-value analysis to realistic situations to produce likelihood functions and posterior distributions, to a clinical decision-making problem for recurrent events. In this study, three kinds of failure models are considered, and our met...

Databases are models of the real world. Yet, our knowledge of the real world is often imperfect, thus challenging our ability to create databases of integrity. To uphold the integrity of a database in situations where knowledge of the real world is imperfect, one may either (1) restrict the model to that portion of the real world about which perfect information is available, or (2) develop form...

This paper deals with the Reliability analysis of K-out-of-n : G redundant system in the presence of Lethal & Non-lethal Common Cause Shock failures (CCS) along with imperfect fault coverage. S.Akhtar (1994) has discussed the reliability analysis of k-out-of-n: G redundant system with Perfect and imperfect fault coverage and derived Reliability measures namely Rs (t), As (t), MTTF, MTBF. K.Mall...

this paper concerns the transmission of two independent gaussian sources over a two-user decentralized interference channel, assuming that the transmitters are unaware of the instantaneous csis. the availability of the channel state information at receivers (csir) is considered in two scenarios of perfect and imperfect csir. in the imperfect csir case, we consider a more practical assumption of...

This paper discusses a case study of the board game of Scotland Yard from a computational perspective. Interestingly, Scotland Yard is a genuine “playgame” with imperfect information. For reasons not completely clear to me, games with imperfect information have escaped the interest of researchers in Algorithmic combinatorial gametheory. I show by means of a powerset argument, that Scotland Yard...

Reverse engineering is an imperfect process driven by imperfect knowledge. Most current reverse engineering tools do not adequately consider these inherent characteristics. They focus on representing precise, complete, and consistent knowledge and work towards enforcing predejked structures on the processes. According to our experience, this design paradigm seriously limits human-centred revers...

In this paper, two economic production quantity (EPQ) models are proposed for deteriorating/imperfect items with rework process. The production process is imperfect, and imperfect quality items are reworked to become serviceable. At the same time, the remaining good quality items may deteriorate. The inspection of deteriorated items is also imperfect, so that deteriorated items may be sold to c...
