Risks and implications for decision making processes associated with existing design codes or their non-existence
Journal Title: Decision Making in Manufacturing and Services - Year 2018, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
Buckling phenomenon is a perplexing and unresolved issue in many safety critical structures, and it has been heavily regulated. The paper highlights the risks to decision making processes due to growing tendencies of eliminating from public domains disastrous events through confidentiality arrangements, erosion of existing human know-how, and falling standards of education. It is illustrated how existing, natural feedback routes to improvements of product design is broken by the imposition of legal, damage recovering, and court proceedings. All of this can lead the modern, automated support system to be blindfolded and unaware of harmful consequences when stability loss strikes.

Stretching the Least Squares to Embed Loss Functions Tables
The method of least squares is extended to accommodate a class of loss functions specified in the form of function tables. Each function table is embedded into the standard quadratic loss function so that the nonlinear l...
Neighbourhood Properties in Some Single Processor Scheduling Problem with Variable Efficiency and Additional Resources
In the paper, we consider a problem of scheduling a set of tasks on a single processor. Each task must be preprocessed before it can be started on a processor. The efficiency of preprocessing is variable, i.e., the rate...
