This paper presents a new approach to study the optimal rotation policy with amenity valuation under uncertainty. We first postulate the stochastic forest value and assume plausibly that monetary value of amenities is a continuous and non-negative function of forest value thus presenting the...

Planungsansätze an einem Beispiel illustriert und bewertet. Das taktische Supply Chain Planning bestimmt auf Basis einer prognostizierten Nachfrage die jeweiligen Produktmengen übergreifend von den Lieferanten über die Produktionsstandorte und Distributionslager bis hin zu den Kunden mit...

This paper presents ration-by-distance (RBD), a new allocation method to be used in planning ground delay programs (GDPs) for Traffic Flow Management. It is shown that RBD minimizes total expected delay, under certain assumptions related to the manner in which GDP's are dynamically controlled....

A review of the basic theory of optimal open-source software contributions points to three key factors affecting supply: non-pecuniary benefits, future expected monetary returns, and open-source licence type. This paper argues that existing large-scale software developer surveys are inadequate...

Mappings in most federated databases are conceptualized and implemented as black-box transformations between source schemas and a federated schema. This approach does not allow specific mappings to be declared once and reused in other situations. We present an alternative approach, in which...

Technological advances such as Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) have increased the feasibility and importance of effectively integrating information from an ever widening number of systems within and across enterprises. A key difficulty of achieving this goal comes from the pervasive...
