Once you have chosen your problem statement, it is important to research the written materials available on your subject. By finding out as much background information as you can about the subject, you will gain better understanding of your problem. This will be valuable to you as you plan your project.Good Topics
2. Problem statement In this problem, the objective was to assign work shifts to nurses working in a ward or unit/department of a given hospital during a planning horizon, according to a set of requirements and constraints. The output was a timetable consisting of the shifts allocated for ea...
Each of these can be an NP-hard problem, and they can be in conflict with each other, i.e., the optimal solution for one component does not necessarily represent an optimal solution for the other components. This can be a challenge for single-objective formulations, where the respective ...
While the problem statement of Nonner (2016) allows \(w_v\), \(v\in V\), to be rational, the proof of complexity shows that the problem is strongly \({{\mathcal {N}}}{{\mathcal {P}}}\)-hard for integer weights and \(K=3\). Hence, we assume that \(w_v\in {\mathbb...
I’d like to congratulate my friend and fellow Rickoid Yale Fan for winning the Young Scientist award at theInternational Science and Engineering Fairfor his project on quantum computation (which deservedly earned him the title “rock star”). I also congratulate his classmate and fellow rock sta...

likely the child is to turn to drugs’, is a statement which could originate from empirical research and which probably holds true for white families in European cities from 1990 to the present time. But not for rural areas in Colombia. And why should this statement hold true for the ...
Finally, if you are an automation fan then I suggest any raised work item by the customer should automatically trigger preliminary analysis after assigning it to the most appropriate team and if you automate preliminary analysis further such as analysing the problem statement and extracting...

These problems do not require prior domain knowledge; basically, all the information needed is in the problem statement. Puzzle-type problems fall into this category; examples, discussed by Simon and Hays in 1976, are the missionaries and cannibals problem and the Tower of Hanoi. The second ...
