We are concerned with evolutionary algorithms that are employed for economic modeling purposes. We focus in particular on evolutionary algorithms that use a binary encoding of strategies. These algorithms, commonly referred to as genetic algorithms, are popular in agent-based computational...

Uncertainty contributes a major part in the accuracy of a decision-making process while its inconsistency is always difficult to be solved by existing decision-making tools. Entropy has been proved to be useful to evaluate the inconsistency of uncertainty among different respondents. The study...

This paper proposes a new hybrid algorithm Meta-heuristic for the problem of network planning systems. The main goal of this paper is, to develop an efficient optimization tool which will minimise the cost functions of the stated optimization problems in network planning systems. The following...

This paper addresses two innovative design alternatives of marine container terminals for efficient ship handling service in the mega-containership era. They serve a mega-ship from two sides at dedicated berths. One of the key issues for higher utilization is how the dedicated berths serve other...

Controller bieten dem Management interne Beratung und Unterstützung aus dem Blickwinkel finanzieller Handlungsmotive an (vgl. Kesten 2001, S.30 ff.). Dies trifft auch bei der Planung, Abwicklung und Kontrolle von Projekten zu. Der Beratungsfokus liegt dabei insbesondere auf Fragen zur...

В условиях роста и индивидуализации потребностей рыночной экономики возрастает необходимость применения методов проектного менеджмента, среди которых...

Each of an organization’s many activities transforms inputs into outputs. Managing these activities involves allocating input resources for some activities and assigning output targets for others. Making these decisions is especially difficult in the presence of uncertainty. In practice, many...

In the past two decades, the globalization of financial markets and multinational trade has intensified internationally, and become increasingly competitive. In the construction industry, critical changes are initiated to reduce operating costs for achieving sustainable operation. Conventional...
