Planning maritime surveillance activities in military operations and long-term defense planning is a huge task that is done manually today. Because maritime surveillance resources are extremely expensive, the potential cost savings of using optimization models to do such planning are large. In this paper...
... including monitoring and verification, has become operational. It may still take years until this happens on a bona-fide basis. The most plausible reasons are high cost, commercial uncertainty, lack of a foreseeable regulatory framework, problems pertaining to bankability, and, last but not least, liability...
...between different standards. By looking at some of the cases, suggestions for revising product standards, power quality regulations and CE-marking process are proposed, and discussed...
Evolution of work and load is required for investigating elasticity and cost-efficiency of cloud computing applications as well as their underlying architecture. Existing modelling environments have fixed load and work, therefore rendering model-and-analyse approaches infeasible for such applications...
