Nevertheless, it appears that even in systems traditionally considered discretionary, accepted patterns play a significant role in determining penalties, and judges utilize merely a limited spectrum of potential penalties in repetitive cases. Confirmation of the predictability of sentencing in certain categories of cases facilitates the possibility of automation. Utilising a computer program to assist judges in sentencing proposals based on input is feasible. This program can reflect the standard practice of sentencing penalties and punitive measures in a particular category of cases or rectify it, depending on the adopted sentencing policy. The objective of the article is to present findings from research that investigated whether a specific relation shapes the dimension of penalties and penal measures for cases concerning driving under the influence of alcohol in Poland, in the context of possible automation of the sentencing process. Another aim of this study is to provide an example of a straightforward mathematical recommendation model that tries to reflect both the discovered correlations in the data and the presumed intentions of legislators.","PeriodicalId":42909,"journal":{"name":"Foundations of Computing and Decision Sciences","volume":"214 3","pages":"425 - 451"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139025023","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 traveling salesman problem parallelization is fulfilled by clustering the nodes into a given number of groups. Every group (cluster) is an open-loop subproblem that can be solved independently of other subproblems. Then the solutions of the respective subproblems are aggregated into a closed loop route being an approximate solution to the initial traveling salesman problem. The clusters should be enumerated such that then the connection of two “neighboring” subproblems (with successive numbers) be as short as possible. For this, the destination nodes of the open-loop subproblems are selected farthest from the depot and closest to the starting node for the subsequent subproblem. The initial set of nodes can be clustered manually by covering them with a finite regular-polygon mesh having the required number of cells. The efficiency of the parallelization is increased by solving all the subproblems in parallel, but the problem should be at least of 1000 nodes or so. Then, having no more than a few hundred nodes in a cluster, the genetic algorithm is especially efficient by executing all the routine calculations during every iteration whose duration becomes shorter.","PeriodicalId":42909,"journal":{"name":"Foundations of Computing and Decision Sciences","volume":"242 ","pages":"453 - 481"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139019888","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 architectural design decisions form the foundation that shapes the arrangement of elements within a system. Unfortunately, these decisions are often poorly documented, implicit in various artifacts, or inadequately updated, leading to negative consequences on the maintainability of a system and resulting in rework and cost overruns. The objective of this systematic mapping study is to comprehend the current state regarding approaches for traceability of architectural design decisions and how these decisions are linked with the different artifacts used in software development. To achieve this, an information extraction protocol is followed, utilizing databases with search strings, inclusion, and exclusion criteria. The findings demonstrate that this knowledge is highly relevant; however, it is rarely explicitly documented. As a result, most works propose diverse approaches to extract this knowledge from existing technical documentation, commonly used tools, and other sources of product and process information. In contrast, it is evident that there is no standard for documenting design decisions, leading each author to present a subjective version of what is important and where to trace these decisions. This suggests that there is still a significant amount of research to be conducted regarding the traceability of these architectural design decisions and their connection with software artifacts. Such research could lead to intriguing new proposals for investigation.","PeriodicalId":42909,"journal":{"name":"Foundations of Computing and Decision Sciences","volume":"40 4","pages":"401 - 423"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139014360","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}

However, information uncertainty is always a challenge in production and distribution management. The main purpose of this paper is to design a two-echelon supply chain in a multi-cycle state and in conditions of demand uncertainty. The task includes determining the number and location of distribution centers, planning capacity for active distribution centers, and determining the amount of shipments between different levels so that the total costs of the chain are minimized. Uncertainty is applied through discrete scenarios in the model and the problem is formulated by multi-stage stochastic programming method in the form of a mixed integer linear model. The results acquired using two indicators called VMS and VSS demonstrated that modeling the supply chain design problem with the multi-stage stochastic approach can result in significant costs reduction. Plus, utilizing mathematical expectation can generate misleading results, therefore resulting in the development of supply chain designs incapable of satisfying demand due to its overlooked limitations.","PeriodicalId":42909,"journal":{"name":"Foundations of Computing and Decision Sciences","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135640433","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}

Thus, the study’s main objective is to provide multiple objective programming models under uncertain conditions to assess the performance of suppliers. To meet that aim, a case study for the reliability assessment of the presented model is carried out. That section is associated with supply chain visibility (SCV). Likewise, the likelihood of unpredicted and undesirable incidents involving supply chain risk (SCR) is taken into consideration. The intimate relation between visibility and risk of the supply chain is deemed efficient for the performance of the supply chain. Incoherence in maximization and minimization of SCR and SCV and other factors, including costs, capacity, or demand, necessitates multiple objective programming models to assess suppliers’ performance to accomplish the before-mentioned aims. The study’s results indicate the high reliability of the proposed model. Besides, the numeral results reveal that decision-makers in selecting suppliers mainly decrease SCR and then attempt to enhance SCV.
