Seven years of time-tracking data capturing collaboration and failure dynamics: the Gryzzly dataset by Jacob Levy Abitbol, Louis Arod

“…It provides a detailed view of daily activities contributing to project completion, including information about the users involved, the tasks they worked on, and the planned versus actual costs of each project. To validate the published data, we analyzed the underlying temporal collaboration network, revealing expected patterns such as circadian user activity, power-law characteristics in degree distributions, and heterogeneously distributed inter-declaration times. …”

A DMPC-based three-dimensional cooperative guidance scheme with impact time and impact angle constraints by Zijie Jiang, Xiuxia Yang, Cong Wang, Yi Zhang, Hao Yu

“…For restricting the uncertain deviation between the assumed state trajectory and the actual one, a compatibility constraint is designed, and the terminal ingredients are developed for coupling and decoupling stage costs, respectively. By applying the above designed constraints and the terminal ingredients, the recursive feasibility of the resulting optimization problem and the closed-loop stability of multi-interceptor system are both ensured. …”
