Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordProviding Fairness to Mobile Workforces in an Automated Task Allocation Process: A Semantic Multi-agent ApproachArash Mousavi, Riza Sulaiman, Md. Jan Nordin et al.Problem statement: Mobile Workforces (MW) unlike computational resources of an automated system are active but not passive entities. Therefore, an automated resource allocation system that deals with MWs should assign tasks to them fairly and in a comparatively equal manner. An unfair task allocation in a group will cause dissatisfaction, which in turn demotivates MWs who are supposed to work … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 16 May 2012 · 7,003 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOptimization of Hydraulic Parameters of Iranshahr Alluvial AquiferJafar Rahnama-Rad, Mohammad Yaghoub Bavali, Reza DerakhshaniProblem statement: The Iranshahr aquifer consists of an unconfined layer. We simulated groundwater flow of the Iranshahr aquifer in a conceptual model. This model is a suitable tool for management of groundwater system and would also be effective when applied in other countries. Approach: In this study, we constructed the conceptual model of Iranshahr aquifer, which is important and applicable … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,539 accessesView PDFCite
