In this paper, we present the state-transition formulation for the unit commitment (UC) problem. This formulation uses new decision variables that capture the state transitions of the generators, instead of their on/off statuses. We show that this new approach produces a formulation which naturally includes valid inequalities, commonly used to strengthen other formulations. We demonstrate the performance...
The worldwide market for luxury and fashion goods is dominated today by a handful of multinational corporations (MNCs). The way MNCs access foreign markets and organize distribution, however, remains unclear. In this paper, based on an analysis of foreign trade statistics, we take the example of watches and provide a model to highlight the most important flows as well as regional hubs in this global...
Processes of technological transformations allow moving to a qualitatively new level of technology business. This makes it possible to speak about occurrence of so-called cognitive era. In these circumstances, new management technologies and approaches are developing, in particular, the cognitive technologies in management. The paper describes the application of cognitive technologies in business...
Increasing energy efficiency represents an essential component of all energy strategies, directly contributing to sustainable development, increasing security of supply, the level of energy bill affordability etc. All the official documents mainly focus on establishing the quantitative targets and the orientation trajectories for obtaining energy savings, as well as on monitoring the orientation trajectories...
A measurement model for quantifying the intangible value of enterprise carbon management is proposed and established in this paper. We devise and formulate embedded management strategies of the assets for automobile enterprises, and develop a software agent-based system for simulating the evolution of the assets of automobile enterprises under three different scenarios. The results show that our measurement-based...
The transition to the production phase of electronic products requires the product design to follow a large set of constraints that ensure that the electronic product will materialize into a viable product. The printed circuit board (PCB) design is a central part of electronic products and therefore is the part where most constraints are enforced. Although PCB designers already address design constraints...
With a rapid growth in the lithium-ion battery technology, particularly in the automotive sector, remanufacturing concepts to ensure maximum efficiency levels may be seen as an attractive option. Such a process does not currently exist and the opportunity to undercut cost-intensive batteries and support green credentials is one which the market is now ready for, namely, an alternative to buying new...
This article deals with the problem of import ubstitution in Russia in the field of medical equipment. The lading task of import substitution in medicine is the creation of domestic competitive products. Based on the conducted marketing research practical recommendations on increasing the demand and increasing the competitiveness on the product “Pardus — R” are set out.
Digitization changes our world. Industry 4.0, the digital transformation of manufacturing changes the labor market. The impacts of rapid technology development of the fourth industrial revolution present huge challenges for the society and for policy makers. Are we facing reduction of employment by automation rendering human work force uncompetitive with machines? Can creation of new fields of employment,...
This Paper defines a method of Certifying a Test Station for use by an organization's Production team, and for Validating its proper functionality. The Production team of any organization is the customer of the Test Equipment development team. The deliverable to the Production team is the Test Station, whose performance must be Validated in order to guarantee that it can adequately provide Pass/Fail...

A research objective became the analysis of increase in competitiveness of the enterprises of the aviation industry due to use of information technologies and also introduction of the requirement of information security. Important aspect in realization of this approach is ensuring information security from unauthorized copying, distribution,...
In article the characteristic of the main tendencies and directions of realization of management of innovations in advanced industrial EU countries (Great Britain, Germany, Austria) and Japan is given. The strategy of management of innovations in the CIS countries in the system of the Euroasian integration are formulated. The concept of innovative industrial policy of the CIS countries and the Eurasian...
The state-of-the art education system should be in time for the knowledge-intensive technologies, that are developing with a high pace and be as mobile and effective as possible. The development of science-intensive technologies is developing with a tremendous pace, so the knowledge obtained in the university is quickly becoming obsolete, therefore the modernization of equipment should go in synchronism...
Wireless communication technologies such as WiFi, ZigBee, or Bluetooth often suffer from interference due to many devices using the same, unregulated frequency spectrum. Also, wireless coverage can be insufficient in certain areas of a building. At the same time, eavesdropping a wireless communication outside a building might be easy due to the extended communication range of particular technologies...
Process control theory has developed to the point where advanced controllers are able to perform optimization and even planning functions on complex, possibly nonlinear, processes. Advances in digital technologies have enabled the industrial implementation of many of these automation strategies, resulting in the process industry achieving all-time highs in production with less need for human intervention...
Correct and efficient selection of innovative solutions is the most important part of the whole process of implementation of innovations in small businesses. In this regard, the study of the mechanism for the selection of innovative solutions based on an assessment of efficiency reserves is a vital task. In this article, using analytical methods, systematic approach, logical methods of research are...
Studies in the field of transport security are aimed more at finding new technical and technological solutions directly related to transport and the development of transport infrastructure. The authors of the work decided to look at the process of ensuring transport safety on a different plane-creating a model for assessing the processes presented at the territorial level. The assessment provides...
This paper focuses on examining how to develop and combine cost management, sustainability and emission reporting systems by utilizing Big Data. We provide evidence that shows how Big Data brings company-wide business benefits if data queries and interfaces are built to be interactive, intuitive and user friendly. Proper algorithm design and programming is a key factor in order to make the most of...
