Constraints and Limitations. How many credentials can the profession and CDR support and the public un- derstand? This will be a voluntary credential and there is strong concern that individuals will not be willing to pay for it. The credential must be based on what the practice audit shows peo- ple with this level of education are currently doing, although the profes- sion would like to look to future roles in defining the continuum. The cre- dentialing examination can be updated through future audits, research, and education. There is a concern this individual will be in competition with the RDN. A needs assessment of employers has not been conducted. Individuals who have completed a 4-year degree and ob- tained supervised practice (which does not have to be an ACEND-accredited program) and have passed CDR’s entry-level registration examination to meet current licensure requirements in many states present a challenge. It is important to note that these in- dividuals who have passed the state licensure examination are not regis- tered by CDR but rather are licensed to practice in the state. In addition, the exemptions in states not allowing these individuals to be licensed might allow them to practice. The Academy and its affiliates would face challenges from other organizations if the decision is made to re-open licensure laws to incorporate these changes. The timing of this new credential is a constraint and a concern. The Academy and CDR are moving forward with implementation of the new credential based on a practice audit of DPD pro- gram graduates. At the same time, CFP will be identifying roles for the levels of practice, while ACEND is devel- oping accreditation standards for the baccalaureate-degree credential and graduate-degree RDN. Proposed Actions to Advance Recommendation #3
Constraints and Limitations. • User experience may be affected by delays that may be caused due to network issues. • NICE will not be held responsible for any performance issues related to the network. • Availability and access to a DNS server from the bus when at the garage is required. • The Offload Server will support handling up to 10 busses concurrently. • Offload Server is installed on a dedicated machine according to above specs. • Any hardware required for this solution will be provided by RTD. • The solution will support the specified recorder HW and cameras. Other cameras models or server HW should be pre-approved and certified by NICE before put to production.
Constraints and Limitations during the Experiments The SoftFIRE infrastructure is composed of loosely integrated platforms under different administrative domains. In addition, the different platforms are built for experimental purposes and they are not yet considered a mass production tool. This means that bugs and issues in the platform behaviour can occur and will occur. Actually, the scope of the experiments is also to support the tune up and the assessment of the platform as a whole. SoftFIRE aims at programmers, but not all the features for a fast programming approach are provided. This is due to differences in the component testbeds and to security controls imposed by different administrative domains. The programming phases could result in a cumbersome and not particularly attractive process. Service level agreement (SLA) agreements do not apply for the experimentation phases, because the SoftFIRE platform is a testing and development environment. Experimenters should not run production applications on the infrastructure Platform during the trial. The SoftFIRE project reserves the right to discontinue at any time the service if the use is not consistent with the purpose of SDN/NFV and/or violate any aspects of infrastructure security or shall conflicts any on-going experimentation. During the running period of the experiments, the SoftFIRE project will put in place a team that will support the experiments in their work on the platform. It is not offered as a professional service and its operations will be on the basis of best effort. The entire infrastructure is α-test platform. Possible downtime could occur without notice or due to overload caused by parallel experiments. SoftFIRE will offer expertise available by email or dedicated slack channel (with possible follow- up by phone) and two hours per day during the experimentation phase in order to collect issues and provide responses. We will try to provide most of the answers by 24 hours (typically next morning or afternoon). Some issues could be not solvable due to the short time of the experiment period or due to the need to intervene on the platform. The supporting team will work with experimenters to circumvent the problems. The project will also issue limits and constraints on the allocation of available resources. This is due to the need to support and allow parallel experimentations. These limitations depend on the total capabilities of the federated platform as well as the number of experimenters and their requests in...

In addition, the different platforms are built for experimental purposes and they are not yet considered a mass production tool.

This is due to differences in the component testbeds and to security controls imposed by different administrative domains. Service level agreement (SLA) agreements do not apply during the challenge execution period. Because this is a period to test and explore SoftFIRE, the competitors should not run production applications on the infrastructure platform during the demo preparations. The SoftFIRE project reserves the right to discontinue at any time the service if the use is not consistent with the purpose of SDN/NFV and/or violates any aspects of infrastructure security or shall conflict any on-going demo preparation. Any deliberate intent by a competitor to intervene with other competitor’s demo development, or to hack the infrastructure, or cause damage will lead to the revoke of any access right to the platform and to the exclusion of the contest. During the running period of the demo development, the SoftFIRE project will put in place a team that will support competitors in the running of the platform. It is not offered as a professional service and its operations will be on the basis of best effort. The entire infrastructure is a test platform. Possible downtimes may occur without notice or due to unforeseen overload caused by parallel developments. SoftFIRE will offer expertise available by email or dedicated slack channel (with possible follow- up by phone) and two hours per day during the experimentation phase in order to collect issues and provide responses. Each issue and response will be disclosed to all Competitors in order to have a fair treatment. Specific issues related to adaptation of the SoftFIRE platform to specific requirements of a demo will not be taken into consideration in order to preserve the fairness of the Challenge. We will try to provide most of the answers within 24 hours (typically next morning or afternoon). Some issues could be not solvable due to the short time of the demo preparation or due to the need to intervene on the platform. The supporting team will work with competitors t...
Constraints and Limitations. Constraint (2) expresses that at any point in time, a worker can be only be allocated to a maximum of one job at time. This uses the inequality constraint that than 1 and is not binding. X wj cannot be larger Within the constraint the Fj following: parameter consists of several other parameters including the AMPL names Oj = 1 if it is an offshore job, 0 otherwise, x X offShore {JOBS} Aj = roundup(Oj * Dj * (1/ 3)) = Required time off after job j if the job is offshore, j J addOffshore {JOBS} Fj = S j Dj Aj = Finish time for job j, x X finishDate {JOBS} As shown, Aj takes effect only if a job is offshore (in Norway) or not setting the rest period to 1/3rd of the jobs duration, rounded up to the nearest integer value. The finish time ( Fj ) then consists of the start time, the duration, and in many cases the offshore addition. The constraint (3) guarantees that we have the required amount of workers with the right skills and experience for each job. The equality constraint sets the value to be no other than Rj and is binding, restricting against other alternatives. The constraint (4) is a linking constraint telling if a worker is doing any job at all. The constraint is always true whether a worker is allocated to a job or not. For each worker the total number of working days cannot exceed a given amount of the total working period and is expressed in constraint (5). M works as an upper bound for the number of days for each worker is on a job during the given time period. In AMPL the problem is modeled with VSFs technically defined as jobs, and has to be subtracted from the constraint. The new parameter is added: Vw = Total number of vacation/sick leave/flexi time (VSF) days during period. AMPL name: totalVac {WORKERS} Constraint (5) then becomes: ( X j J wj Dj ) Vw M , w W Because, as mentioned with the parameter Vw in constraint (5), Vw is technically defined as jobs. The AMPL- model contains fixed restricted intervals for the VSFs where worker w cannot take other jobs than the VSF interval which are predefined in the data. This is written in the following way: For instance: XWORKER1,VSF1 1 By enforcing the restriction of constraint (6), negative values cannot exist in a solution.
Constraints and Limitations. Some institutions might need flexibility to design these experiences within the constraints of their programs and situations. Proposed Actions to Advance Recommendation #5: This was discussed in concert with new standards for baccalaureate education and the new baccalaureate-degree credential. As ACEND already has re- quirements designed to xxxxxx these learning experiences, ACEND seeks guidance on whether these need to be strengthened. CFP Proposed Recommendation #6: Board-Certified Specialist Credentials‡ Continue to support development of board-certified specialist credentials in focus areas where there is a reasonable pool of practitioners to justify the cost of development and maintenance of the credential, and develop a system to recognize RDNs practicing in focus areas where numbers are too small to justify the financial investment. Rationale for Recommendation Specialist board certification is not a new concept in the medical and allied health professions. CDR began testing for specialists in 1993 for pediatrics and renal. The first examination for sports dietetics was in 2006, followed by gerontological nutrition in 2007. The most recent specialist certification ex- amination was in 2008 for oncology nutrition, bringing the total number to five specialty certifications, with approximately 2,500 specialists in 2011.40,41 The number of specialists has grown exponentially as the numbers of available certifications have increased, with faster growth rates for sports di- etetics, gerontology, and oncology. The final report of the Phase 2 Future Practice and Education Task Force advised that “ADA continues to recog- nize specialty practice areas in dietetics and provide support for additional appropriate education and credential- ing opportunities.”1 The CFP 2011 Visioning Report responded to this recommendation with the develop- ment of the Dietetics Career Develop- ment Guide, replacing the term specialty with specialist and developing definitions and criteria for the terms focus area of dietetics practice, specialist, and advanced practice.15 Participants in the 2011 Future Con- nections Summit developed two design ‡Due to time constraints and the need to focus on six recommendations (#1, #2, #3, #4, #5, and #9), the dis- cussions related to the recommenda- tion for board-certified specialist credentials (#6), advanced practice credentials (#7), and marketing/ branding (#8) were limited. They each have some action being taken by the Academy, ACEND, and CDR. princ...
Constraints and Limitations. Xxxxxxxx is a low- to moderate-income area. Many homes are in substandard condition, with more debris in yards and less tree cover than in other parts of Spokane. Work on planting trees and incentivizing debris clearance would make Xxxxxxxx more attractive to both current and future residents. The land in Hillyard is fragmented, with the Eastside area cut off by the railyard, and now by I-395. While the Eastside area is primarily industrial, some scattered residential units are present. Providing more car and pedestrian connections would help to mitigate obstacles while also encouraging land swaps to move residential uses to other areas, allowing larger-scale industrial activity.
