Abstract This article presents a novel combination of robust optimization developed in mathematical programming, and robust parameter design developed in statistical quality control. Robust parameter design uses metamodels estimated from experiments with both controllable and environmental...

This paper deals with a system where batch arrivals wait in a station until a server (a train) is available, at which moment it services all customers in waiting. This is an example of a bulk server, which has many applications in public transportation, telecommunications, computer resource...

This paper presents a tool for warehouse processes optimization. It allows checking of the effectiveness of any warehouse layout with a free designed storage location assignment. Warehouse real-time simulator tests the quality of projected layout and item's location assignment using optimal...

Real Options for Project Schedules (ROPS) has three recursive sampling/optimization shells. An outer Adaptive Simulated Annealing (ASA) optimization shell optimizes parameters of strategic Plans containing multiple Projects containing ordered Tasks. A middle shell samples probability...

This paper discusses the problem of capital budgeting in the situation where only some model parameters are well described by their past data and therefore are specified by random variables, whereas the remaining model parameters can hardly be predicted by historical data and therefore they are...

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease that affects millions of Americans and puts a significant burden on the healthcare system. The medical community sees screening patients to identify and treat prediabetes and diabetes early as an important goal; however, universal population screening is...

Robust optimization (RO) is a young and active research field that has been mainly developed in the last 15 years. RO techniques are very useful for practice and not difficult to understand for practitioners. It is therefore remarkable that real-life applications of RO are still lagging behind;...

La Distribución Hiperbólica Generalizada ha sido usada ampliamente como una alternativa ante distribuciones de colas livianas que no se ajustan a los hechos estilizados presentes en los activos financieros, y por su utilidad tanto en la modelación de activos como en la valoración de medidas...
