A Note on Look-Ahead in Real Life: Proposed Models and Novel Applications

EasyChair Preprint 15496

Abstract

Past, Present and Future are considered to be temporal and logical concepts which are well defined in diversified contexts by human beings for their existence and growth. As human beings, we have the privilege of using our intelligence to mentally execute an activity before physical occurrence of the same in real world. Knowledge of the past, aplomb of present and visualisation for the future correspond to three concepts such as
look-back, look-at and look-ahead respectively in real life. Look-Ahead(LA) deals with the future prediction of information and processing of input to produce the output in advance.In this article, our main objective is to learn, understand and explore the concept of LA by mapping to diversified practical applications from various domains. We introduce interesting real life scenarios where LA plays a significant role for making a process, system or algorithm efficient. Using the concept of LA, We identify and present many interesting and nontrivial research challenges as future potential research directions.Intuitively, we observe that LA can be used as a powerful
tool and framework for future researchers in design of efficient computational models and algorithms for solving non-trivial and challenging optimization problems.

Keyphrases: Optimization, Real-life applications, look-ahead, models
