Network scheduling activities are usually addressed in a two-stage process of static schedule determination and subsequent control monitoring. A more complete view combines these two subsets of decisions with information acquisition decisions into a dynamic optimization framework. Such a...

Network scheduling models typically assume that estimates of individual activities are stable and are not improved or degraded as progress is made in a project and the time to undertake a particular activity comes near. The formulation of scheduling models is usually compatible with this...

It is common in R & D to identify and explore several approaches to a particular objective so that the best approach may be chosen. The outcome of any approach is uncertain; hence, it is difficult to choose the best one at an early date. To deal with this uncertainty, two or more approaches to...

Our previous attempt resulted in a paper by the same five authors, "Quantum information and accounting information: their salient features and conceptual applications," published in the July-August 2006 issue of the Journal of Accounting and Public Policy. We now extend the previous paper to...
