(2015-11-05)A large number of available solutions to choose from poses a significant challenge for multiple criteria decision making. This research develops a methodology that reduces the set of efficient solutions under consideration. ...
-
(2016-12-07)Outpatient clinic appointment scheduling is an important topic in OR/IE studies. Open-access policy shows its strength in improving patient access and satisfaction, as well as reducing no-show rate. The traditional ...
-
(2021-12-01)Intrusion detection systems (IDS) play a critical role in cybersecurity and are used to identify malicious behaviour in network traffic. The weakness of modern approaches is that they are reactive responses reliant on ...
-
(2012-10-19)The United States international land boundary is a volatile, security intense area. In 2010, the combined trade was $918 billion within North American nations, with 80% transported by commercial trucks. Over 50 million ...
-
(2022-05-31)The future of collaborative manufacturing robotics must be designed to augment and support human capabilities in tasks that are difficult to automate. In such tasks, augmenting human cognition, situation awareness, and ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)The maximum weight-independent set problem (MWISP) is one of the most well-known and well-studied NP-hard problems in the field of combinatorial optimization. In the first part of the dissertation, I explore efficient ...
-
(2021-12-10)The influence of input parameters on the coalescence of bubbles during Directed Energy De- position of metals is studied. Additionally, the in-situ infrared images captured during the process were dynamically calibrated ...
-
(2013-04-25)The aim of this thesis is to create a low-cost sensor equipped glove using commercially available components that can be used to obtain position, velocity and acceleration data for individual fingers of a hand within an ...
-
(2015-08-06)Many complex systems involve entities that interact with each other through various relationships (e.g., people in social systems, neurons in the brain). These entities and interactions are commonly represented using graphs ...
-
(2015-08-05)This dissertation aims at developing generalized network models and solution approaches for studying cluster detection problems that typically arise in networks. More specifically, we consider graph theoretic relaxations ...
-
(2013-05-01)Mean-risk stochastic programs model uncertainty by including risk measures in the objective function. This allows for modeling risk averseness for many problems in science and engineering. This dissertation addresses gaps ...
-
(2020-07-28)The integration of condition monitoring with queueing systems to support decision making is not well explored. This work addresses the impact of condition monitoring of the server on the system level performance experienced ...
-
(2015-08-06)This dissertation establishes mathematical foundations of connectivity requirements arising in both abstract and geometric network analysis. Connectivity constraints are ubiquitous in network design and network analysis. ...
-
(2014-12-09)In many industries, including the retail industry, the profits of a supply chain primarily come from the revenue determined by pricing decisions, while the costs of a supply chain are mainly determined by production and ...
-
(2010-10-12)This thesis suggests a new framework for cooperative modeling which supports concurrency design protocol with a design history tracking function. The proposed framework allows designers to work together while eliminating ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)This dissertation considers the problems of coordinating different supply chain inventory systems with private information under deterministic settings. These systems studied are characterized by the following properties: ...
-
Cost minimization in multi−commodity multi−mode generalized networks with time windows (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)The purpose of this research is to develop a heuristic algorithm to minimize total costs in multi-commodity, multi-mode generalized networks with time windows problems. The proposed mathematical model incorporates features ...
-
(2022-07-27)Fatigue is a serious problem due to its high degree of prevalence and its critical effects on safety-related performance in multiple occupational settings. In more developed economies, the problem of fatigue has increasingly ...
-
(2013-05-22)This dissertation develops sophisticated data analytic methods to analyze structural loads on, and power generation of, wind turbines. Wind turbines, which convert the kinetic energy in wind into electrical power, are ...
-
(2017-08-03)We study the problem of modeling coupled dynamics in transient processes that happen in a network. The problem is considered at two levels. At the node level, the coupling between underlying sub-processes of a node in a ...
