A number of recent research efforts in the area of research and development planning have indicated the necessity that the R&D project selection process be viewed as a multi-criteria decision-making problem. As a result, linear 0-1 goal programming, because of its ability to encompass multiple...

A number of models have been developed in recent years for the allocation and deployment of urban police units. However, these models are not directly applicable to the state highway patrol counterparts. Although urban police and the state highway patrol are both law enforcement agencies, an...

This paper describes a simulation study of two cases of research and development planning. The first case is for a series of R&D projects analyzed sequentially by a single R&D team, while the second case is for a series of R&D projects analyzed sequentially and concurrently by two teams. Q-GERT,...

This paper reports on a simulation study of multiple research and development projects that are worked on concurrently and sequentially by more than one research team. The technique employed in the modeling and simulation effort was GERT, which was used because of its capability to incorporate...
