Air traffic control with an expected value criterion

in this contribution we discuss a stochastic framework for air traffic conflict resolution. The conflict resolution task is posed as the problem of optimizing an expected value criterion. Optimization is carried out by Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) simulation. A numerical example illustrates the proposed strategy. Copyright © 2005 IFAC.

The value handbook: getting the most from your buildings and spaces.

The Value Handbook is a practical guide, showing how public sector organisations can get the most from ther buildings and spaces in their area. It brings together essential evidence about the benefits of good design, and demonstrates how understanding the different types of value created by the built environment (exchange value, use value, image value,social value, environmental value, and cultural value)is the key to realising its full potential.
