The aim of this research is twofold: Firstly, to model and solve a complex nurse scheduling problem with an integer programming formulation and evolutionary algorithms. Secondly, ...
XML data warehouses form an interesting basis for decision-support applications that exploit complex data. However, native XML database management systems currently bear limited p...
In the integration of geodetic networks with different geodetic coordinate systems, the similarity transformation seems to be the most suitable method because the geodetic coordin...
