which is known to be binary NP-hard. In computational experiments, we compare the practical efficiency of a dynamic programming approach, an enumerative method and a heuristic list scheduling procedure. Test results show that each solution method has its advantages and none of them can be rejected from the consideration a priori. Keywords: flow shop, late work, dynamic programming, enumerative method, list scheduling 2 1. Introduction The process of investigating every new optimization problem

Specification and Execution Gaps Specification Gap It is the semantic gap between two specifications of the same task. Execution Gap It is the gap between the semantics of programs (that perform the same task) written in different programming languages. Language Processors “A language processor is a software which bridges a specification or execution gap”. The program form input to a language processor as the source program and to its output as the target program. The languages

Fortran program for Lab 1 1. WHAT IS FORTRAN? Fortran is a general purpose programming language, mainly intended for mathematical computations in science applications (e.g. physics). Fortran is an acronym for FORmula TRANslation, and was originally capitalized as FORTRAN. However, following the current trend to only capitalize the first letter in acronyms, we will call it Fortran. Fortran was the first high-level programming language. The work on Fortran started in the 1950's at IBM and there have

Task 1 Structured Programing A process can be organized according to at least three basic structures: linear structure sequence of alternative and repetitive structure. Practically all programming applications using these structures combined with each other. An organizational structure is the sequence of processing the completion and execution of instructions is in the order of their specification. An alternative structure is the organization of processing so that selecting instruction to be

introduces basic algebra concepts and assists in building skills for performing specific mathematical operations and problem solving. Students solve equations, evaluate algebraic expressions, solve and graph linear equations and linear inequalities, graph lines, and solve systems of linear equations and linear inequalities. These concepts and skills serve as a foundation for subsequent coursework. Applications to real-world problems are integrated throughout the course. This course is the first half of the

Birzeit University MBA Program Managerial Accounting BUSA 631 Spring 2013 Case 3 The Rohr Company’s old equipment for making subassemblies is worn out. The company is considering two courses of action: (a) Completely replacing the old equipment with new equipment or (b) Buying subassemblies from a reliable outside supplier, who has quoted a unit price of $1 on a 7-year contract for a minimum of 50,000 units per year. Production was 60,000 units in each of the past 2 years. Future
