Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines a mathematical programming model called FORPLAN as a planning tool for strategic analysis of forest management alternatives. This model uses economic efficiency as the objective of forest management planning. The dynamic theory of multiple use forestry is analyzed and expressed as a linear programming analogue in FORPLAN. The main weakness of this theory is that it focuses on single stand analysis. Even so, forest wide constraints applied to certain FORPLAN formulations compensate for this weakness. A strata-based forest management problem is developed to show the econ

Abstract:
The application of heuristic search techniques, such as genetic algorithms, to the problem of automatically generating software test data has been a growing interest for many researchers in recent years. The problem tackled by this thesis is the development of heuristics for test data search for a class of test data generation problems that could not be solved prior to the work done in this thesis because of a lack of an informative cost function. Prior to this thesis, work in applying search techniques to structural test data generation was largely limited to numeric test data and in particul

In the 1980s, file infecting and boot sector viruses were common, mirroring the fact that during this time, executable code was commonly transferred via floppy disks.

The natural question is then whether a different LP formulation can lead to better algorithms. We answer this question positively
