Sharifi, Pouya (2020-11-30)High integration of intermittent renewable energy sources (RES), specifically wind power, has created complexities in power system operations due to their limited controllability and predictability. In addition, large ...
-
Wen, Xu (2018-11-20)This thesis concentrates on algorithms for finding all the maximal k-edge-connected components in a given graph G = (V, E) where V and E represent the set of vertices and the set of edges, respectively, which are further ...
-
Venkatachalam, Saravanan (2014-08-10)This dissertation develops theory and methodology based on Fenchel cutting planes for solving stochastic integer programs (SIPs) with binary or general integer variables in the second-stage. The methodology is applied to ...
-
Rajan, Sudarshan (2020-11-17)In this dissertation, we consider sequential optimization decision making problems, which entail making optimal decisions at specified epochs of time to maximize or minimize the specific objective of the decision maker. ...
-
Montez, Christopher M. (2023-05-11)Cooperative behavior between mobile agents has received increasing interest in fields such as robotics, operations research, agriculture, and more. The use of multiple agents allows for a variety of problems to be addressed ...

Homrich da Jornada, Daniel (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. ...
-
Fu, Yu (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 ...
-
Balasubramaniam, Chitra (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 ...
-
Kanchari Bavajigari, Sai Kiran (2019-11-07)This first part of the thesis presents a study of the composite system reliability evaluation using a cross-entropy based importance sampling method to improve computational efficiency of sequential Monte Carlo simulation ...
-
Cotton, Tanisha Green (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 ...
-
Kim, Jonghyun (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 ...
-
Lee, Giwhyun (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 ...
-
Kwon, Soongeol (2017-04-12)In recent years, we have noticed tremendous increase of energy consumption and carbon pollution in the industrial sector, and many energy-intensive industries are striving to reduce energy cost and to have a positive impact ...
-
Shim, Young Hak (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)This dissertation presents the configuration and capacity management of manufacturing cells using cluster analysis. A heuristic based on cluster analysis is developed to solve cell formation in cellular manufacturing systems ...
-
Zeng, Xiaosi (2014-12-15)Transit signal priority (TSP) can be a very effective preferential treatment for transit vehicles in congested urban networks. There are two problems with the current practice of the transit signal priority. First, random ...
-
Alismail, Fahad Saleh M (2016-12-02)This dissertation presents a distributionally robust planning model to determine the optimal allocation of wind farms in a multi-area power system, so that the expected energy not served (EENS) is minimized under uncertain ...
-
Lourenco, Christopher J. (2020-06-03)Obtaining the exact rational solution of sparse systems of linear equations (SLEs), Ax =b, is a fundamental problem in mathematics, engineering, and computer science. The two most common tools used to solve these sparse ...
-
Ursulenko, Oleksii (2011-02-22)This dissertation considers a subclass of sum-of-ratios fractional combinatorial optimization problems (FCOPs) whose linear versions admit polynomial-time exact algorithms. This topic lies in the intersection of two scarcely ...
-
Lee, Hyun Soo (2011-10-21)This dissertation investigates the extraction of knowledge from a known environment. Virtual ontology – the extracted knowledge – is defined as a structure of a virtual environment with semantics. While many existing 3D ...
