A Staffing Algorithm for Call Centers with Skill-Based Routing
Wallace, Rodney B.; Whitt, Ward - In: Manufacturing & Service Operations Management 7 (2005) 4, pp. 276-294
-class performance constraints. With appropriate flexibility, it suffices to use a suboptimal routing algorithm. Simulation experiments … addresses both of these routing and staffing problems by exploiting limited cross-training. Consistent with the literature on … flexible manufacturing, we find that minimal flexibility can provide great benefits: Simulation experiments show that when (1 …

Chinese Postman Games on a Class of Eulerian Graphs
Granot, D.; Hamers, H.; Kuipers, J.; Maschler, M. - Center for the Study of Rationality, Hebrew University … - 2004
The extended Chinese postman (CP) enterprize is induced by a connected and undirected graph G. A server is located at some fixed vertex of G, to be referred to as the post office. Each player resides in a single edge, and each edge contains at most one player. Thus, some of the edges can be...

On the Equivalence between some Local and Global Chinese Postman and Traveling Salesman Graphs
Granot, D.; Hamers, H.J.M. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2000
A connected graph G=(V,E), a vertex in V and a non-negative weight function defined on Ecan be used to induce Chinese postman and traveling salesman (cooperative) games. A graph G=(V,E) is said to be locally (respectively, globally) Chinese postman balanced (respectively, totally balanced,...

Efficient and robust routing on scale-free networks
Pu, Cun-Lai; Zhou, Si-Yuan; Wang, Kai; Zhang, Yi-Feng; … - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 391 (2012) 3, pp. 866-871
Information routing is one of the most important problems in large communication networks. In this paper we propose a … novel routing strategy in which the optimal paths between all pairs of nodes are chosen according to a cost function that … incorporates degrees of nodes in paths. Results on large scale-free networks demonstrate that our routing strategy is more …
