We define the assignment of a task T ij as ∅ or a sub-interval I ij of 1 unit of length within the processing interval [s i,e i ], i.e., I ij =∅, or I ij ∈[s i,e i ] and |I ij |=1 for some machine M k.
A peak assignment defines the assignment of a single peak p k : p k → r i or, in a simplified notation, k→ i.
The cost model defines the assignment of costs to various events that may contribute to the total overall treatment costs (Eq. 1, for which we considered two types: (i) direct drug costs and (ii) adverse event-related costs.
If no delay is defined, the assignments of the event are usually executed at the same point in time when the event has been triggered.
We define the assignment method of BfsEnumP1 as follows.
In this paper, we follow the terminology of Sokal (1974), in which classification is defined as the ordering of objects into groups on the basis of their relationships, and identification is defined as the assignment of additional unidentified objects to the correct class.
The initial OR schedule, which is given at the beginning of the day and which has already been determined one or several days before, is defined by the assignment of the elective surgeries to an OR and the initially planned start times P i of the elective surgeries.
More specific, only the initial OR schedule is known, which is defined by the assignment of the elective surgeries to an OR and the initially planned start times P i of the elective surgeries together which their expected duration E i.
Scoring tables were defined to enable the assignment of the six SFRB definitions to retention basins in the data set.
Stevens defined measurement as the "assignment of numerals to objects or events according to rules" (1951: 1) and claimed that any consistent and non-random assignment counts as measurement in the broad sense (1975: 47).
