Applying tree knapsack approaches to general network design : a case study
(North-West University, 2010)There are many practical decision problems that fall into the category of network flow problems: numerous examples of applications can be found in areas such as telecommunications, logistics, distributions, engineering, ... -
Aspects of price determination using goal programming approaches
(North-West University, 2007)The use of goal programming in various real-world areas - including resource allocation, engineering, agriculture and other applications - has increased a lot in the past few years. The aim of this dissertation is to ... -
Bydraes tot ry- en kolomseleksieprosedures vir ontaarde lineêre programme
(Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education, 1986)The reason why the simplex method and related techniques are studied is because, from a practical viewpoint, two important features - a typically linear number of iterations, and fast methods for performing each iteration ... -
Contributions towards survivable network design with uncertain traffic requirements
(North-West University, 2008)The objective in designing a communications network is to find the most cost efficient network design that specifies hardware devices to be installed, the type of transmission links to be installed, and the routing strategy ... -
Experimental models for network mesh topologies with designs that enhance survivability
(North-West University, 2006)Network design problems involving survivability usually include trade-off of the potential for lost revenues and customer goodwill against the extra costs required to increase the network survivability. It also involves ... -
Factors and forces guiding telecommunication development towards the accruement of social and economic benefits
(North-West University (South Africa), 2012)There is a general consensus that an investment in ICT infrastructure provides benefits to the economy and that countries with a weak infrastructure of fixed telephone lines can leapfrog this difficulty by adopting mobile ... -
Implementing artificial intelligence search methods to solve constrained two-dimensional guillotine-cut cutting stock problems
(North-West University, 2003)The main focus of this thesis will be on the constrained two dimensional guillotine-cut cuffing stock (C2DGC) problem. Stock cutting involves the process of cutting certain small demand items from a larger object. During ... -
Investigating some heuristic solutions for the two-dimensional cutting stock problem
(North-West University, 2010)In this study, the two-dimensional cutting stock problem (2DCSP) is considered. This is a problem that occurs in the cutting of a number of smaller rectangular pieces or items from a set of large stock rectangles. It is ... -
'n Evaluasie van suurmengsels as fosfaatkunsmis vir sproeibemesting
(North-West University (South Africa), 1992)The application of nitrogen through irrigation systems also necessitates the application of other soluble nutrients through this medium. Acid fertilizers are suitable for the purpose, but are highly corrosive. Information ... -
'n Ondersoek na die gebruik van multikriteriametodes vir strategiese prysbeleid
(North-West University, 2003)Products are priced in order to sell them and make a profit. Every firm, therefore, needs a pricing strategy. Such a strategy should be simple. It should ensure simplicity in tactics and decisions and minimize complications. It ... -
'n Ondersoek na semantiese nette in probleemoplossing vir die skoolvak Wiskunde
(1998)The problem-centred approach in the instruction of Mathematics has gained much ground in the last few years. Different points of view exist on how this approach ought to be implemented in schools. Many researchers place ... -
Optimization of network mesh topologies and link capacities for congestion relief
(North-West University, 2004)Network design problems usually include the selection of nodes and arcs from lists of potential sets to accomplish certain desirable properties. Foremost is often the capability to accommodate the flow demands at a ... -
Robust techniques for regression models with minimal assumptions
(North-West University, 2011)Good quality management decisions often rely on the evaluation and interpretation of data. One of the most popular ways to investigate possible relationships in a given data set is to follow a process of fitting models to ... -
The use of partitioning strategies in local access telecommunication network problems and other applications
(North-West University, 2007)Telecommunications networks can usually hierarchically be divided into three parts. The local access telecommunications network (LATN) connects individual subscribers to the network and makes a significant contribution to ...
