Full textMaster's dissertation: 110 pp., 24 figs., 23 tables, 81 sources, 1 appendix. Topicality. Today, the level of complexity of automation facilities of enterprises in various fields of activity is growing rapidly. This is due to the fact that customers are increasingly specific requirements for information systems to meet the needs of the enterprise. Currently, the IT industry is one of the most promising areas of human activity. An integral part of which is the implementation of various IT projects from customers around the world. Successful project implementation depends on their effective management. The success of a project directly depends on a number of indicators that determine its essence and affect the state of the project during its life cycle. This set of project elements are essentially objects of management. The history of various approaches to project management is five thousand years old, although the first mention of project management was given in the early 20th century. The founders of project management can be called the main three scientists: Henry Gant (1861–1919) was an American engineer who in 1910 created and implemented a calendar planning approach in which horizontal elements became the basis for constructing diagrams. In fact, his invention of such planning was later called the Gantt chart. Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856-1915) - American engineer, mathematician and physicist, his work is still used as prototypes of various modern tools, which includes the hierarchical structure of his work. Henri Fayol (1841–1925) was a French engineer who founded the main classical project management model. He became quite famous due to the fact that he described the 5 main functions of management (management), which, in fact, became the basis of the theory of project management. Theoretical aspects of research on project management are contained in the works of such Ukrainian and foreign scientists as, in particular, OO Kulinich, SD Bushuyev, Yu.S. Грисюк, І.В. Kononenko, VI Максимова, В.Б. Силова, Є.К. Корноушенко, О.Г. Timinsky, VI Prangishvili, Dolores Sherwood Steiger, Yu.M. Tesla, Paula Martin, Karel Tate, L.A. Zade, Denise Colonna d’Istria. In their works, they covered the development of information technology in project management. The reason for the relevance of an effective planning process is the need to increase human capacity to solve unique problems. Quite often companies implement several projects at the same time, which involve the same human or technical resources. Automating this process can increase the efficiency of the company as a whole. To date, there are many examples of efficiency by automating monotonous manual work. Connection of work with scientific programs, plans, themes. The work was performed at the Department of Automated Information Processing and Control Systems of the National Technical University of Ukraine "Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. Igor Sikorsky ”in the framework of the topic "Effective methods for solving problems of schedule theory" (№ DR 0117U000919). The purpose of the study is to increase the efficiency of IT projects in the company, by creating an information system for resource planning of IT projects, which is based on methods that minimize the time of project implementation. To achieve this goal it is necessary to perform the following tasks: perform an analytical review and conduct a detailed analysis of existing systems of resource planning, project management, management of constraints and risks within the project, methods of planning schedules for tasks within resource constraints; develop algorithms for solving the problem of supporting the work of the resource planning system of IT projects; investigate the effectiveness of the developed algorithms; develop software implementation of information system for resource planning of IT projects; perform an experimental study of the developed information system, methods of solving the problem and the effectiveness of the algorithms used. The object of research is the process of planning IT project resources. The subject of research - there are methods of automation of resource planning of IT projects. The research methods used in this paper are based on methods for solving the problem of resource planning. The scientific novelty of the obtained results is to build a method of resource planning, taking into account their limitations, risks and analysis; development and improvement of algorithms for solving the problem by performing experimental research.

Full textsince sidelobes of the matched filter is determined by the autocorrelation of the spreading code and linearly proportional to target signal power. An unbiased estimator, like the maximum likelihood receiver in this thesis work does not su&crarr
er from such issues. In addition to that, to suppress the signal dependent interference, namely the clutter, at the output of fast time processor
the previous target-free observations are col- lected and utilized to predict the clutter signal for next time instant. This prediction is used in the maximum likelihood receiver. The clutter prediction is done for the stationary case and the internal clutter motion case, and their SINR performances with the maximum likelihood receiver are evaluated. In conclusion, such an approach managed to have an unbiased estimation of target range profile and the clutter suppression advantage in the fast time.

Full textThe thesis addresses time-domain inverse electromagneticscattering for determining unknown characteristics of an objectfrom observations of the scattered .eld. Applications includenon-destructive characterization of media and optimization ofmaterial properties, for example the design of radar absorbingmaterials.A nother interesting application is the parameteroptimization of subcell models to avoid detailed modeling ofcomplex geometries.
The inverse problem is formulated as an optimal controlproblem where the cost function to be minimized is thedi.erence between the estimated and observed .elds, and thecontrol parameters are the unknown object characteristics. Theproblem is solved in a deterministic gradient-basedoptimization algorithm using a parallel 2D FDTD scheme for thedirect problem.This approach is computationally intensive sincethe direct problem needs to be solved in every optimizationiteration in order to compute an estimated .eld.H ighlyaccurate analytical gradients are computed from the adjointformulation.In addition to giving better accuracy than .nitedi.erences, the analytical gradients also have the advantage ofonly requiring one direct and one adjoint problem to be solvedregardless of the number of parameters.
When absorbing boundary conditions are used to truncate thecomputational domain, the equations are non-reversible and theentire time-history of the direct solution needs to be storedfor the gradient computation.Ho wever, using an additionaldirect simulation and a restart procedure it is possible tokeep the storage at an acceptable level.
The inverse method has been successfully applied to a widerange of industrial problems within the European project,IMPACT (Inverse Methods for Wave Propagation Applications inTime-Domain).T he results presented here includecharacterization of layered dispersive media, determination ofparameters in subcell models for thin sheets and narrow slotsand optimization problems where the observed .eld is given bydesign objectives.

In time-sensitive and dynamic missions, autonomous vehicles must respond quickly to new information and objectives. In the case of dynamic task allocation, a team of agents are presented with a new, unknown task that must be allocated with their original allocations. This is exacerbated further in decentralized settings where agents are limited to utilizing local information during the allocation process. This thesis presents a fully decentralized, dynamic task allocation algorithm that extends the Consensus-Based Bundle Algorithm (CBBA) to allow for allocating new tasks. Whereas static CBBA requires a full resetting of previous allocations, CBBA with Partial Replanning (CBBA-PR) enables the agents to only partially reset their allocations to efficiently and quickly allocate a new task. By varying the number of existing tasks that are reset during replan, the team can trade-off convergence speed with amount of coordination. By specifically choosing the lowest bid tasks for resetting, CBBA-PR is shown to converge linearly with the number of tasks reset and the network diameter of the team. In addition, limited replanning methods are presented for scenarios without sufficient replanning time. These include a single reset bidding procedure for agents at capacity, a no-replanning heuristic that can identify scenarios that does not require replanning, and a subteam formation algorithm for reducing the network diameter. Finally, this thesis describes hardware and simulation experiments used to explore the effects of ad-hoc, decentralized communication on consensus algorithms and to validate the performance of CBBA-PR.

Full textEffective time utilisation leads to greater freedom to use time as one would like to: to do more of the things one has always wanted to do; in short to enjoy life more. Like in any other business organisation, time for planning, organising, leading and controlling is managed carefully. The principal needs time to perform all the above mentioned tasks. In this study, the author accentuates that it is disconcerting that from time to time, there are schools that do not even have a time table when the schools open at the beginning of the year. It would be interesting to know how much time might be wasted as a result of a lack of planning, lack of priorities, paperwork and reading, meetings, unclear objectives, procrastination, lack of delegation, incompetent subordinates and many other time wasters. The purpose of the study was to determine the school principal’s understanding of the time management task and explore how effective school principals manage time in performing their different tasks. Fifty principals from Phumelela and Umbumbulu Circuits, under the Umlazi District completed a survey questionnaire and semi structured interviews were conducted. The researcher was able to determine the pattern of time usage. The findings revealed that factors hampering time management include among other things meetings that principals have to attend, departmental expectations, visitors, the organisational stress, administrative obligations and inability to differentiate between urgent and important matters to attend to hampers the principal’s time management tasks. The study among other things recommended that the provincial education departments need to provide appropriate training for school governing bodies that a well organised and goal directed system should operate to control school visitors in the schools’ interest.

Full textThe simultaneous performance of two tasks in a dual-task paradigm is often accompanied by dual-task costs (longer reaction times and/or higher error rates). These dual-task costs have been explained by the existence of a central bottleneck which prohibits the simultaneous processing of the two tasks at the central response-selection stage of information processing. The aim of the present work was to investigate several of the possible factors which determine the task processing order at this central bottleneck. The study shows that the arrival time of the two tasks at the bottleneck plays an important role in the determination of task order. Additionally, the influence of the arrival time on processing order is independent of the component task which is manipulated to test the influence of that task (i.e., visual & auditory task). A second factor that was manipulated is the instruction given to the participants. The results show that cognitive control processes are activated under certain instruction conditions. As a third factor, task requirements were investigated by comparing a temporal order judgement task with a dual task with random task order (i.e., temporal order judgement with the additional requirement to do a choice-RT task). The results suggest that the decision about the temporal order of the two tasks is located between the perception stage and the response-selection stage of processing.

Full textSystems controlled by embedded computers become indispensable in our lives and can be found in avionics, automotive industry, home appliances, medicine, telecommunication industry, mecatronics, space industry, etc. Fast, accurate and flexible performance estimation tools giving feedback to the designer in every design phase are a vital part of a design process capable to produce high quality designs of such embedded systems.
In the past decade, the limitations of models considering fixed task execution times have been acknowledged for large application classes within soft real-time systems. A more realistic model considers the tasks having varying execution times with given probability distributions. No restriction has been imposed in this thesis on the particular type of these functions. Considering such a model, with specified task execution time probability distribution functions, an important performance indicator of the system is the expected deadline miss ratio of tasks or task graphs.
This thesis proposes two approaches for obtaining this indicator in an analytic way. The first is an exact one while the second approach provides an approximate solution trading accuracy for analysis speed. While the first approach can efficiently be applied to monoprocessor systems, it can handle only very small multi-processor applications because of complexity reasons. The second approach, however, can successfully handle realistic multiprocessor applications. Experiments show the efficiency of the proposed techniques.

Full textGlobalt ökad migration och rörlighet mellan länder har gjort det kritiskt för många att lära sig att tala ett andraspråk. Denna studie fokuserar på arbetande migranter som lär sig ett andraspråk vid sidan av sitt arbetsliv. Studien syftar till att stödja de studerande i sitt lärande av ett andraspråk utanför klassrummet. I synnerhet undersöker den hur användningen av en speciellt utformad applikation som syftar till att hjälpa eleverna att hålla reda på hur mycket tid de spenderar på att studera ett andraspråk påverkar deras engagemang och motivation för att fortsätta studera målspråket. För att hjälpa studerande migranter hålla reda på den tid som spenderas på språkinlärning (t ex att tala, skriva, läsa och lyssna) har en webbaserad applikation, TimeTracker App, som är tillgänglig via användarnas mobiltelefon, utvecklats av författaren och erbjudits till eleverna. Deltagarna i denna studie använde applikationen i cirka två veckor. En blandad metod användes: data samlades in genom halvstrukturerade intervjuer och genom att extrahera loggdata från applikationsdatabasen. Intervjudata analyserades med hjälp av en konventionell innehållsanalys och loggdata med hjälp av beskrivande statistik. Sammantaget visar studiens resultat att användningen av TimeTracker App gjorde det möjligt för respondenterna att bli mer medvetna om hur mycket tid de spenderade på sina studier och det inspirerade dem att ägna mer tid att studera målspråket jämfört med innan man använde applikationen. Resultaten tyder på att arbetande migranter blir mer motiverade och engagerade i sitt studerande av ett andraspråk när de använder applikationen.

Full textReal-time task scheduling problems are generally considered to be NP-hard problems. Therefore it is necessary to apply a heuristic search strategy on these problems. This project focuses on the development of a real-time scheduling algorithm using tabu search.
A dynamic real-time task scheduling problem is defined for a single processor. The tasks in the system are sporadic, mutually independent, non-preemptable with firm, arbitrary deadlines. This problem is represented with tabu search. For performance measurements a simulator has been designed and implemented. Simulations have been conducted comparing scheduler based on tabu search to two well known scheduling algorithms, namely: earliest deadline first and highest value first. It was expected that the scheduler based on tabu search would outperform highest-value first and it would miss fewer deadlines than earliest deadline, as soon as earliest deadline starts to miss deadlines. The results of the simulations conducted did not show this results. Nevertheless did the simulation results indicate that tabu search could be a suitable heuristic search strategy for real-time task scheduling problems. This project provides a starting point on which it is possible to continue work on enhancing the tabu search scheduler.
