Set functions appear as a useful tool in many areas of decision making and operations research, and several linear invertible transformations have been introduced for set functions, such as the Möbius transform and the interaction transform. The present paper establish similar transforms and their relationships for bi-set functions, i.e. functions of two disjoint subsets. Bi-set functions have ...

This paper describes an effort underway to develop an operational concept and technical implementation for a User Defined Operational Picture (UDOP). The purpose of the UDOP capability is to create, visualize, and share decision-focused views of the operational environment for decision-makers to support accurate situation awareness and timely decision-making. Unlike a traditional Common Operati...

The opinions of logistics educators in Taiwan on OR practices in the domestic logistics industry are explored in this research. In this study, questionnaires were given to 42 pre-screened educators at 10 logistics departments and graduate institutes. According to the 37 valid returned questionnaires, 70% of the responding educators believe the major source of OR techniques in Taiwan’s logistics...

The worldwide economic growth of the last century has given rise to a vast consumption of goods while globalization has led to large streams of goods all over the world. The production, transportation, storage and consumption of all these goods, however, have created large environmental problems. Today, global warming, created by large scale emissions of greenhouse gasses, is a top environmenta...

We discuss in this paper the application of the methods of operation research (OR) to tackling various design problems of Automated Guided Vehicle Systems (AGVS) . We present a selective review of tile literature on applying OR to aid AGVS planning eind clesign . This study can make engineers aware of the problems commonly encountered in AGVS design and the potential use ofOR for solving these ...

In a recent paper, Soni and Shah [Soni, H., Shah, N. H., 2008. Optimal ordering policy for stock-dependent demand under progressive payment scheme. European Journal of Operational Research 184, 91-100] developed a model to find the optimal ordering policy for a retailer with stock-dependent demand and a supplier that offers a progressive payment scheme to the retailer. This note corrects some e...
