Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cette thèse est consacrée à l'étude de l'ordonnancement en contexte incertain. La première partie précise la notion de contexte incertain en optimisation et présente les outils les plus connus pour prendre en compte l'incertitude. Le problème d'ordonnancement en contexte incertain est présenté sous sa forme prédictive et sous sa forme réactive, sans prise en compte explicite du caractère incertain des données. La deuxième partie traite des méthodes de prise en compte explicites de l'incertain avec garantie de performance. Les notions de robustesse et de flexibilité sont définies et illustrées par des exemples. La troisieme partie présente la modélisation d'un atelier de photolithographie, et replace le problème de sa configuration dans le cadre de l'ordonnancement. Ce problème est traité sous trois hypothèses concernant les incertitudes. La première hypothèse est traitée dans la troisième partie. La quatrième partie est consacrée à la configuration de l'atelier lorsque la charge ou le temps de traitement de la commande n'est pas affecté par les perturbations. Le rayon de stabilité est présenté pour augmenter la robustesse de cette configuration. Enfin, la cinquième partie traite du même problème sans hypothèse particulière concernant les perturbations que subit la commande de l'atelier.

Download or read book Energy Management written by Francisco Macia-Perez and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forecasts point to a huge increase in energy demand over the next 25 years, with a direct and immediate impact on the exhaustion of fossil fuels, the increase in pollution levels and the global warming that will have significant consequences for all sectors of society. Irrespective of the likelihood of these predictions or what researchers in different scientific disciplines may believe or publicly say about how critical the energy situation may be on a world level, it is without doubt one of the great debates that has stirred up public interest in modern times. We should probably already be thinking about the design of a worldwide strategic plan for energy management across the planet. It would include measures to raise awareness, educate the different actors involved, develop policies, provide resources, prioritise actions and establish contingency plans. This process is complex and depends on political, social, economic and technological factors that are hard to take into account simultaneously. Then, before such a plan is formulated, studies such as those described in this book can serve to illustrate what Information and Communication Technologies have to offer in this sphere and, with luck, to create a reference to encourage investigators in the pursuit of new and better solutions.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'elaboration d'un ordonnancement de la production est une tache de grande importance pour la prise de decision dans un environnement industriel incertain. C'est un domaine ou la theorie n'a pas apporte un modele general de resolution, cela est du essentiellement d'une part a la grande diversite des cas pratiques et au manque d'experience dans des situations de prise de decisions, et d'autre part au manque d'outils pour la resolution des problemes np-complets de l'ordonnancement de la production dont la complexite ne cesse de croitre. Generalement l'environnement de la production est entache d'erreurs, d'imprecisions et d'incertitudes, c'est la raison pour laquelle il est important de pouvoir exprimer un ensemble d'informations incertaines et non sures dans un systeme pilote a partir d'un ensemble de regles et de connaissances. Notre approche pour resoudre ce type de problemes et pouvoir proposer un ordonnancement credible et robuste au sens des responsables de la production, est basee sur un modele d'ordonnancement flou (mof) qui tient compte des erreurs et des imprecisions qui peuvent survenir au cours de la production. Ce modele d'ordonnancement flou est base d'une part sur l'application de la theorie des ensembles flous et d'autre part sur l'exploitation d'un ensemble de connaissances, decrites sous forme de regles simples, issues d'origines differentes (statistiques, opinions, bureau d'etude, chef de production,), pour caracteriser les ressources disponibles de production (hommes, machines, informations). Une methode de recherche d'un ordonnancement robuste vis a vis des imprecisions des experts et vis a vis du processus d'inference choisi et une mise en uvre illustree par des exemples ont ete presentees.

Download or read book Human Performance in Planning and Scheduling written by B L MacCarthy and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding how to make the best of human skills and knowledge is essential in the design of technology and jobs, particularly where these involve decision-making and uncertainty. Recent developments have been made in naturalistic decision-making, distributed cognition and situational awareness, particularly with respect to aviation, transport and strategic planning, the nuclear industry and other high-risk industries. Despite the integration of computer-based support systems in production scheduling in recent years, the reality is that most enterprises consist of reactive re-scheduling, involving a high degree of human involvement. It is often with the insight, knowledge and skills of people that scheduling skills can function with any degree of success. Human Performance in Planning and Scheduling covers many industries, including clothing, steel, machine tools, paper/board, and the automobile industry. Using international case studies from various manufacturing industries, they highlight the fact that the human scheduler is a pivotal element in the scheduling process. Each section of the book includes an introduction with an overview of the material to follow, clearly identifying themes, discussion points and highlights inter-connections between the authors' work.

Download or read book Handbook for Integrating Risk Analysis in the Economic Analysis of Projects written by Asian Development Bank and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aiming to support the development of a framework for the analysis of risk in project design and economic analysis, this handbook outlines technical approaches to modeling risk. Also summarized is the nature and practice of sensitivity analysis in dealing with uncertain outcomes as well as the principles to consider in typical risk analysis situations sector by sector. Case studies are included to demonstrate the application of quantitative risk analysis using actual Asian Development Bank projects to help improve project design and quality. Handbook users will learn to identify factors that are the key determinants of project outcomes, determine the likelihood of an individual project's returns being unacceptable, and design measures to mitigate the risks arising from the identified key factors.

Download or read book Memory Allocation Problems in Embedded Systems written by Maria Soto and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-01-24 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embedded systems are everywhere in contemporary life and are supposed to make our lives more comfortable. In industry, embedded systems are used to manage and control complex systems (e.g. nuclear power plants, telecommunications and flight control) and they are also taking an important place in our daily activities (e.g. smartphones, security alarms and traffic lights). In the design of embedded systems, memory allocation and data assignment are among the main challenges that electronic designers have to face. In fact, they impact heavily on the main cost metrics (power consumption, performance and area) in electronic devices. Thus designers of embedded systems have to pay careful attention in order to minimize memory requirements, thus improving memory throughput and limiting the power consumption by the system’s memory. Electronic designers attempt to minimize memory requirements with the aim of lowering the overall system costs. A state of the art of optimization techniques for memory management and data assignment is presented in this book.

Download or read book Algerian Sketches written by Pierre Bourdieu and published by Polity. This book was released on 2013-11-04 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1950s, like tens of thousands of young men of his generation, Pierre Bourdieu, having recently passed the agrégation in philosophy, found himself immersed in the Algerian war. Motivated by an impulse that, as he himself says, ‘was civic rather than political’, nothing seemed more important to him than to understand the Algerian situation and provide the elements that would enable others to come to an informed judgement about it. In extremely tough conditions and along with a small group of students, Bourdieu undertook a series of studies across an Algeria that was tightly patrolled by the army, leading him to discover the shocking reality of the resettlement camps and to analyse the mechanisms of destruction of Algerian society of which they were emblematic. To achieve the objectives he had set himself, Bourdieu had to carry out a genuine intellectual conversion, acquiring an ethnographic understanding of Algerian society, learning sociological analysis at a breakneck pace and inventing new instruments - both theoretical and empirical - that would enable him to understand the relations of domination specific to colonialism. These new tools also enabled him to analyse the nature of the crisis that the war had both produced and manifested. This unique volume brings together the first texts written by Bourdieu in the midst of the Algerian conflict, as well as later writings and interviews in which he returns to the topic of Algeria and the decisive role it played in the development of his work.
Download or read book The Roll in England and France in the Late Middle Ages written by Stefan G. Holz and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-12-16 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Middle Ages, rolls were ubiquitous as a writing support. While scholars have long examined the texts and images on rolls, they have rarely taken the manuscripts themselves into account. This volume readdresses this imbalance by focusing on the materiality and various usages of rolls in late medieval England and France. Researchers from England, France, Germany and Singapore demonstrate in 11 contributions how this approach can increase our understanding of the rolls and their contents, as well as the contexts in which they were produced and used.
