TL;DR: In this paper, a new Operations Research/Operational Analysis education software is presented, which is characterized by a strong embedded interactive component, which can lead to a special judgment based training method, and the classical Tactical Numerical Deterministic Model (TNDM), an empirically based combat simulation model, requires such special training techniques.
Abstract: Distinct from traditional approaches and study modes, progress in information technology enables new techniques and procedures in educational processes. Focusing on independent or individual work, a judgment based component might be integrated in the traditional “teacher-pupil” education process. In this paper, a new Operations Research (OR)/Operational Analysis (OA) education software is presented, which is characterized by a strong embedded interactive component. This approach can lead to a special judgment based training method, and the classical Tactical Numerical Deterministic Model (TNDM), an empirically based combat simulation model, requires such special training techniques. We conclude with possibilities for such an extension of this famous program especially in the context of judgment based decision support processes.

TL;DR: New calculation procedures for finding the probabilities of state transitions of the system in discrete Markov processes based on dynamic programming are developed and polynomial time algorithms for determining the limit state matrix in such processes are proposed.
Abstract: New calculation procedures for finding the probabilities of state transitions of the system in discrete Markov processes based on dynamic programming are developed and polynomial time algorithms for determining the limit state matrix in such processes are proposed. Computational complexity aspects and possible applications of the proposed algorithms for the stochastic optimization problems are characterized.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a System Dynamics model for international emissions trading, and showed that the price of permits differs strongly between different countries as a function of national economic structure, and that a fair international emission trading can only be conducted with the use of protective duties.
Abstract: According to our System Dynamics model for international emissions trading the price of permits differs strongly between different countries as a function of national economic structure. A fair international emissions trading can only be conducted with the use of protective duties. A comparatively high price which evokes emission reduction inevitably has an inhibiting effect on economic growth.
