The document discusses AI planning approaches for semantic web service composition and identifies several open challenges. It notes that classical planning makes simplifying assumptions that are invalid for real-world web services, which exhibit features like incomplete knowledge, non-determinism, and complex interfaces. Non-classical planning approaches that relax some assumptions are mentioned but have their own limitations for large-scale web service composition. The document also outlines some initial efforts at applying planning techniques to web services and identifies remaining open problems regarding issues like scalability, execution monitoring, and semantic mismatches.

This document proposes a genetic algorithm called Workflow Scheduling for Public Cloud Using Genetic Algorithm (WSGA) to optimize the cost of executing workflows in the public cloud. It discusses how genetic algorithms can be applied to the workflow scheduling problem to generate optimal schedules. The WSGA represents potential scheduling solutions as chromosomes, uses a fitness function to evaluate scheduling costs, and applies genetic operators like selection, crossover and mutation to evolve new schedules over multiple iterations. The goal is to minimize total execution cost while meeting workflow dependencies and deadline constraints. An experimental setup is described and the WSGA approach is claimed to reduce costs more than other heuristic scheduling algorithms for communication-intensive workflows.
Kanban
This document proposes applying kanban scheduling techniques to systems engineering activities in rapid response environments. It describes how systems engineering could be modeled as a set of continuous and taskable services that flow through a kanban scheduling system. This approach aims to improve integration and use of scarce SE resources, provide flexibility and predictability, enable visibility and coordination across projects, and reduce governance overhead. The document defines key aspects of a kanban scheduling system for SE, including work items, activities, resources, queues, and flow metrics. It argues this approach could better support SE in rapid response compared to traditional methods.

Graph-based analysis of resource dependencies in project networks
It is a challenge to visualize high dimensional data such as project data to yield new and interesting types of insights. To address this, we augment the traditional PERT network diagram with additional nodes that represent resources, and with arcs from the resource nodes to the activities that use those resources. Subsequently, we apply various graph layout algorithms that can reveal the hidden patterns in the graph data. Finally, we also map various attributes of the activities to the features of activity nodes. We illustrate the applicability and usefulness of our methodology through two case studies, where we visualize data from a benchmark data library and from the real world.

Network Diagrams and Resource Utilization
Introduction | Building a Network Diagram | Building an AIB Manually | AIB Simulation | Resource Constrained Planning | Resource Leveling | Adding or Modifying Resources | Summary
Introduction
Back to Top
Last week, we learned more about how to begin planning a project. We established the project charter, scope statement, work breakdown structure, and created the activity list. This week, we will talk about one of the most important aspects of project management—building a project schedule. We'll use a tool called a network diagram. There are several ways to build a network diagram. In this course, we will use the Activity in Box (AIB) method.
Building a Network Diagram
Back to Top
Now that we know what needs to be done, we need to sequence all of the activities and establish a network diagram. With the concept of a network diagram, you will be able to determine: (1) a project's scheduled completion time, (2) the slack or float of project activities, and (3) the critical path of your project.
Depending on the size of the project, the network may be built in pieces or as a large group. Either way, the step-by-step process to build a project network is used.
Build a Project Network (or a Partial Network)
1. Brainstorm activities that are required to complete the work packages, recording those activities on Post-it notes (without regard to sequencing).
2. Sequence those activities. Determine:
· The order of activities
· Which activities can occur at the same time
· Which activities need dependencies
1. Mandatory: requires the completion of another task.
2. Discretionary: a best practice or convenience. However, the subsequent task can begin if the discretionary dependency is not completed.
3. External: from another project or process, such as permits.
4. Internal: dependencies within the control of the project team.
3. Put the notes on a wall using the above information.
4. Build a network using the notes.
Next, the activities are assigned to the people who will be doing the work. They build duration estimates for the activities. The most accurate estimates are built using actuals from previous, similar projects. Then, the activities can be loaded into an automated scheduling tool like Microsoft Project. At that point, you will be able to determine the project's scheduled completion time, the slack or float of project activities, and the critical path of your project.
Building an AIB Manually
Back to Top
The good thing about using a tool like Microsoft Project is that it makes it easy to build a network diagram. The bad thing about the tool is that it makes it so easy; project managers don't always understand what they are doing, and cannot see when they have made a mistake. They just plug in the activities and move on.
It's like adding—you should first do it manually, and then use a calculator. Every project manager should know how to build an AIB manually so that he or she really understands the.

The document discusses integrating social software like wikis with business process management systems using shared spaces. It summarizes the experience of two Swedish companies in developing such systems. One system used a static structure for shared spaces around each process instance. The other used a dynamic structure based on visualizing the process map. Both approaches had advantages for certain types of processes. Going forward, the authors propose further developing a state-oriented theoretical view of business processes to inform shared space architectures.
01. Birta L. G., Arbez G. - Modelling and Simulation_ (2007).pdf
This document provides an overview and introduction to the textbook "Modelling and Simulation: Exploring Dynamic System Behaviour" by Louis G. Birta and Gilbert Arbez. The textbook aims to provide a practical introduction to modelling and simulation of both discrete-event and continuous-time dynamic systems. It takes a project-oriented perspective and introduces an activity-based conceptual modelling framework called ABCmod to describe system structure and behavior at the conceptual level, prior to implementation. The textbook is intended for senior undergraduate and graduate students interested in learning modelling and simulation methodology.
Control techniques
There are two types of control techniques: old and new. Old techniques include budgeting, cost accounting, and auditing. They provide advantages like improved coordination but disadvantages like being rigid. New techniques like PERT and CPM analyze project tasks and identify minimum completion times. PERT involves identifying activities, determining sequences, estimating times, and updating charts. CPM identifies a project's critical paths and determines minimum completion times and crucial activities. Both techniques improve project planning but can be unwieldy for large projects.

Abstract— In today’s world, internet services are extremely essential as they're needed for accomplishing tasks during a matter of second. Internet services offer options like e-Booking, e-Shopping, e-Banking that helps users to accumulate everything from wherever they're. Presently internet developers use linguistics based mostly descriptions of internet services to pick out and compose them and supply one composition arrange to the users. In bound cases providing one arrange to the users might not enable them to explore alternative smart choices that are obtainable. With facilitate the assistance of culture loop pattern it's attainable to allow multiple choices to the user’s request which might help them to pick out an idea in step with their need and luxury. So associate formula is projected supported linguistics description associated multiple composite services dynamically and to supply the user a flexibility to pick out an optimized composition supported their comfort.

It discusses surveys and articles on scheduling problems in various contexts like industry, cloud/edge computing, and mobile networks. The document aims to give a comprehensive overview of the different approaches and algorithms used to address scheduling problems in emerging fields driven by technological progress, such as modern factories, mobile networks, cloud computing, and fog/edge computing. It observes that heuristics and approximate algorithms are increasingly important for scheduling problems due to the complexity introduced by uncertainties.Work Study & Productivity
This document discusses work study techniques used to analyze human work and improve efficiency. It defines work study, method study, and work measurement. Method study examines work processes to develop more effective methods using a six-step approach. Work measurement techniques include time study, activity sampling, and predetermined time systems to establish standard times for tasks. The goals of work study are to optimize the use of resources, increase productivity, reduce costs, and improve working conditions and quality.
Work Study
Work study is a technique used to systematically analyze work processes to improve efficiency. It involves observing work, documenting the current process, analyzing it for improvements, developing a more efficient method, measuring the new method, and implementing it as the standard. The key founders who developed techniques in this area include Frederick Taylor with time motion studies, Frank and Lillian Gilbreth with motion studies, and Henry Gantt with task scheduling. Work study specialists must gain cooperation from supervisors and workers, and consider the human factors, to successfully conduct a study and implement new standards.

It summarizes the experience of two Swedish companies in developing such systems. One system used a static structure for shared spaces around each process instance. The other used a dynamic structure based on visualizing the process map. Both approaches had advantages for certain types of processes. Going forward, the authors propose further developing a state-oriented theoretical view of business processes to inform shared space architectures.

This document provides an overview and introduction to the textbook "Modelling and Simulation: Exploring Dynamic System Behaviour" by Louis G. Birta and Gilbert Arbez. The textbook aims to provide a practical introduction to modelling and simulation of both discrete-event and continuous-time dynamic systems. It takes a project-oriented perspective and introduces an activity-based conceptual modelling framework called ABCmod to describe system structure and behavior at the conceptual level, prior to implementation. The textbook is intended for senior undergraduate and graduate students interested in learning modelling and simulation methodology.
Control techniques
There are two types of control techniques: old and new. Old techniques include budgeting, cost accounting, and auditing. They provide advantages like improved coordination but disadvantages like being rigid. New techniques like PERT and CPM analyze project tasks and identify minimum completion times. PERT involves identifying activities, determining sequences, estimating times, and updating charts. CPM identifies a project's critical paths and determines minimum completion times and crucial activities. Both techniques improve project planning but can be unwieldy for large projects.

Work Study & Productivity
This document discusses work study techniques used to analyze human work and improve efficiency. It defines work study, method study, and work measurement. Method study examines work processes to develop more effective methods using a six-step approach. Work measurement techniques include time study, activity sampling, and predetermined time systems to establish standard times for tasks. The goals of work study are to optimize the use of resources, increase productivity, reduce costs, and improve working conditions and quality.
Work Study
Work study is a technique used to systematically analyze work processes to improve efficiency. It involves observing work, documenting the current process, analyzing it for improvements, developing a more efficient method, measuring the new method, and implementing it as the standard. The key founders who developed techniques in this area include Frederick Taylor with time motion studies, Frank and Lillian Gilbreth with motion studies, and Henry Gantt with task scheduling. Work study specialists must gain cooperation from supervisors and workers, and consider the human factors, to successfully conduct a study and implement new standards.
Motion And Time Study
Motion and Time Study are methods used to analyze work processes and determine standard times. Frank and Lillian Gilbreth pioneered Motion Study in the 1880s to analyze body motions. Frederick Taylor developed Time Study in the 1880s to measure task completion times. Modern tools like motion cameras, stopwatches, and software are used to study processes in manufacturing, offices, hospitals and more in order to identify inefficiencies and establish performance standards.
Motion Study
The document discusses principles and approaches for improving work efficiency through motion study and work design, including:
1. Four principles of motion economy to reduce unnecessary movement - reduce motions, perform simultaneously, shorten distances, make motions easier.
2. Ergonomic considerations for tool and workstation layout such as positioning parts and tools for sequential use, gravity feeding, and correct working heights.
3. Methods for analyzing and improving operations including eliminating unnecessary steps, simplifying processes, combining tasks, and rearranging sequences.
The Christmas Story
The passage describes the birth of Jesus Christ as foretold by prophets. An angel tells Mary she will conceive and give birth to Jesus, the Son of God. Mary visits her relative Elizabeth, who is also miraculously pregnant. Mary gives birth to Jesus in Bethlehem, where he is visited by shepherds and wise men. The passage establishes Jesus as the promised Messiah through fulfillment of prophecies.
Turkey Photos
The document provides a list of images related to sights and landmarks in Turkey. It includes pictures of mountains, cave houses, mosques, palaces, bridges, museums, universities, and natural areas from various cities across Turkey including Istanbul, Ankara, Konya, Antalya, and Edirne. The images showcase Turkey's rich cultural and architectural heritage as well as natural beauty.
Mission Bo Kv3
The Society of Concurrent Product Development (SOCPD) aims to promote integrated product development practices. Its mission is to disseminate knowledge of concurrent engineering and further develop its body of knowledge.

It lists hundreds of successful projects in areas like process control, SCADA, telemetry, water handling, and beverage preparation. It also outlines the company's capabilities such as software development, panel/PLC integration, gas detection systems, engineering documentation, and training.
Mom
The document is a poem about a mother's unconditional love and sacrifice for her child from birth through adulthood. It describes how the mother was always there to support and celebrate her child at each milestone, from standing up and taking first steps to starting school, getting sick, riding a bicycle, and becoming independent. It reminds the reader to show their love and spend time with their mother while they can, as the mother has given her all through the years and now in old age just desires a bit of her child's love and time in return.
Linearization
Linearization involves developing a linear approximation of a nonlinear system around an operating point. This allows tools from linear systems theory to be applied to analyze and design controllers for nonlinear systems. Specifically, Taylor's theorem is used to expand the nonlinear functions as a linear combination of deviations from the operating point. The resulting linearized model is only valid locally but provides an approximate way to analyze system behavior if well-controlled near the operating point. Examples show how to derive linearized models for common nonlinear systems like tanks and chemical reactors.
Kblmt B000 Intro Kaizen Based Lean Manufacturing
The document introduces Kaizen-based Lean Manufacturing (KBLM) as a way for businesses to increase speed, improve quality, and lower costs compared to traditional Material Requirements Planning (MRP) systems. It discusses eight basics of KBLM, including information integrity, motivational measurement, sequential production, point-of-use logistics, cycle time management, production linearity, resource planning, and customer connectivity. Case studies show companies achieving reductions in costs, inventory levels, and product build times by implementing KBLM.
How To Survive
The document provides seven rules for surviving in a new economy: 1) Accept ambiguity and uncertainty; 2) Hold yourself accountable for outcomes; 3) Become a quick change artist and adapt to changes; 4) Add value through your work; 5) Be a problem solver rather than pointing fingers; 6) Practice continuous improvement through lean processes; 7) Continue learning new skills. The introductory quote emphasizes embracing positive change and progress rather than resisting it or becoming part of negative forces that stand in the way.
Dad
A son or daughter's perspective of their father changes dramatically over time, from seeing their father as all-knowing when young, to viewing them as outdated and unreasonable during the teenage years, to later gaining appreciation for all the hardships and sacrifices their father endured to raise them as they become parents themselves.
Ancient Hieroglyphics
Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics originated as a sacred writing system used since around 3000 BC, combining alphabetic, logographic, and ideographic elements. It was used by priests, scribes, and educated citizens in different scripts until being replaced by Coptic in the 4th century AD. The Rosetta Stone, discovered in 1799, had the key to decrypting hieroglyphics by bearing a decree in three scripts: Greek, Demotic, and hieroglyphic. It was deciphered in 1822, unlocking understanding of ancient Egyptian writings.
DesignPeopleSystem
The document discusses various aspects of job design and work systems, including:
1. Job design involves specifying the content, tasks, responsibilities, and methods associated with a job.
2. Ergonomics and behavioral approaches aim to incorporate human factors and motivate workers through variety, autonomy, and feedback.
3. Traditional efficiency approaches focus on specialization and standardization of tasks from a productivity standpoint.
4. Effective job design balances both human and technical factors to optimize performance and satisfaction.
Organizational Behavior
Organizational behavior (OB) involves studying how individuals and groups function within organizations to accomplish work. Managers play an important role as they interact with others and direct activities to achieve organizational and personal goals. Manager's interpersonal skills are important because views of organizations are changing from seeing them as machines to seeing them as social systems where relationships among individuals are important. OB draws on various behavioral disciplines like psychology, sociology, and anthropology to study individual behavior, group behavior, organizational structure, and their impact on organizational effectiveness and efficiency.

It outlines the financial aid application process, how student earnings are subsidized, employment conditions, payroll procedures, and the auditing process to ensure compliance. Departments must submit agreements, post available positions, hire eligible students, and monitor hours worked, while the Work-Study Office reviews placements and provides guidance.
Workstudy
The document discusses various topics related to work study and productivity including:
- Defining work study, productivity, and their importance in analyzing work processes and identifying areas for improvement.
- Key aspects of work study such as method study, work measurement, incentive plans, and examining worker-machine relationships.
- Modeling work processes using tools like flow diagrams and developing standard times.
- The role of work study in broader areas like systems analysis, business process reengineering, and human-computer interface design.
Time And Motion Study
Time and motion studies are methods used to determine the optimal time it takes to complete tasks. They were developed by Frederick Taylor and the Gilbreths to establish fair work standards and eliminate unnecessary motions. While originally used in manufacturing, today time and motion studies can be applied to performance evaluations, planning, problem solving, and cost analysis in various organizations. The objective is to study jobs and determine standard times through observation, task breakdown, and time recording. Allowance factors are added to standard times to account for contingencies. However, studies may not always accurately capture real work conditions due to observer or worker issues.
