Port Operations
A Port Operations Model is built on Scianta Intelligence’s knowledge-base framework and includes both a complete stochastic event simulation system and a multi-objective, multi-constraint resource allocation system. Using advanced queuing analysis, traffic flow (affinity networks), and commercial process modeling coupled with conventional scheduling techniques and advanced optimization services implemented using genetic algorithms and evolutionary programming, the port operations modeler is able to quickly solve very large port design and business process problems involving a large number of constraints and critical objectives. The model is built on a combination of queuing theory, high dimensional optimization techniques and many state of the art machine intelligence capabilities - such as fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms.
The port planning and operations model is an integrated and coherent collection of Java J2EE classes consisting of queuing and discrete simulation models, economic impact and broad risk assessment services, scheduling and resource allocation facilities, traffic analysis, environment impact assessments, and Markov-chain based business process models to represent the flow of materials and information through the post.
An intelligent and agile port operations model provides comprehensive planning services for port development that address technical as well as management, political, and commercial needs. This is achieved by integrating a design and analysis methodology with advanced machine intelligence technologies and sound, experienced project management.
