On the one hand importance of scheduling for operating rooms in hospitals is increasing for the reasons like hospitals reputations and expenses and on the other hand in real world, scheduling of operating rooms is not often static. Hence, the authors have made an endeavor to show the reactive scheduling in this field. There are many techniques and methods to solve the problem, but academics and practitioners are concerned with the best techniques in this field. Therefore, an attempt has been made to represent and compare and rank the most common techniques by applying the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS).","PeriodicalId":161703,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Control, Decision and Information Technologies (CoDIT)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115077969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An instance of the problem is defined by a set of n items to be packed into m knapsacks as to maximize the minimum of the knapsacks' profits. The proposed method uses a series of interval searches, where each interval is bounded with a target value (considered as a lower bound) and an estimated upper bound. The target lower bound is computed by applying some aggressive fixation of some items to optimality whereas the upper bound is computed by using a surrogate relaxation. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated on a set of instances containing a variety of sizes. Computational results showed the superiority of the proposed method when comparing its provided results to those obtained by the Cplex solver and one of the best exact method available in the literature.","PeriodicalId":161703,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Control, Decision and Information Technologies (CoDIT)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116909591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These modifications are proposed to enhance accuracy without overestimation of the uncertainty magnitude and to suppress the chattering phenomenon, often magnified within real measured signals. In fact, the new adaptation laws are designed in ways to assign a minimum admissible value to the switching gain. The robustness is proven using the Lyapunov stability criterion combined with an intuitive analysis of the control behavior. Simulation results are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":161703,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Control, Decision and Information Technologies (CoDIT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128985678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This NP-hard problem requires the use of well-adapted methods. We have studied the design of genetic algorithms which have been very successful in solving optimization problems. This can be justified by the quality of the solution obtained by such methods and the efficiency in terms of computation time.","PeriodicalId":161703,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Control, Decision and Information Technologies (CoDIT)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115850763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The motion estimation of these subblocks is performed in parallel in order to use them to form the 41 subblocks of different sizes specified by the standard. As a result, this new design has in consideration low latency and high throughput with a maximum frequency which reaches over than 277 MHz on a Xilinx-Vittex5-LX110T FPGA.","PeriodicalId":161703,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Control, Decision and Information Technologies (CoDIT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124901834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, it can be shown that either of the LMIs can also guarantee the Bounded-Input Bounded-Output (BIBO) stability of the uncertain 2-D system.
