Information Systems Knowledge: Foundations, Definitions, and Applications
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2001-06)
A key component of research within information systems is the use of valid instruments to measure numerous aspects of technology, organizations, and people. Validated instruments exist for many different variables and more ...
Integrated maintenance and production control of a deteriorating production system
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2002-05)
We consider a make-to-stock production/inventory system consisting of a single deteriorating machine which produces a single item. We formulate the integrated decisions of maintenance and production using a Markov Decision ...
Control of a manufacturing system with random product yield and downward substitutability
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-09)
We consider a manufacturing system where the quality of the end product is uncertain and is graded into one of several quality levels after production. We assume stochastic demand for each quality level, stochastic production ...
Large volume, high-performance applications of fibers in civil engineering
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2002-01-18)
This article presents an overview of fiber applications in cementitious composites. The socio-economic considerations surrounding materials development in civil engineering in general, and fiber reinforced cementitious ...
Control of manufacturing networks which contain a batch processing machine
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-11)
We consider the control of a batch processing machine which is part of a larger manufacturing network of machines. Systems consisting of a batch processing machine and one or more unit-capacity machines in tandem are ...
Analytic Models for When and How to Expedite in Make-to-Order Systems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2001-11)
Expediting is defined as using overtime or subcontracting to supplement regular production. This is usually done when the number of backorders has grown to be unacceptably large. In this paper, we consider analytic models ...
A Pareto Model for OLAP View Size Estimation
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-04)
On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) aims at gaining useful information quickly from large amounts of data residing in a data warehouse. To improve the quickness of response to queries, pre-aggregation is a useful strategy. ...
Structural and mechanical behavior of layered zirconium phosphonate as a distributed phase in polycaprolactone
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2009-10-15)
Mixed-surface octyl/methoxyundecyl Α-zirconium phosphonates (ZrPs) were investigated as distributed nanoscale fillers, in concentrations up to 50% w/w, for the purpose of increasing the elastic modulus and yield strength ...
System Design and Implementation of a National Image Registry for Orthopaedic Oncology Image Management, Research and Teaching
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-12)
Orthopaedic oncology is highly dependent on imaging studies to diagnose and treat patients. However, many types of bone tumors are rare creating a lack of teaching and research cases. We have developed a system to locally ...
Some Problems in Stochastic Control Theory Related to Inventory Management and Coarsening.
(2014)
In this dissertation, we study two stochastic control problems arising from inventory management and coarsening.
First, we study a stochastic production/inventory system with a finite production capacity and random demand. ...
