In a stochastic supply chain network knowing the exact distribution of lead-time demand (LTD) for each node allows determining inventory policy parameters, service levels, and optimal costs. To determine the LTD distributions a stochastic analytical model has been developed for a multi-echelon...

Many real projects complete through the realization of one and only one path of various possible network paths. Here, these networks are called alternative stochastic networks (ASNs). It is supposed that the nodes of considered network are probabilistic with exclusive-or receiver and...

We present a dynamic network loading model that yields queue length distributions, accounts for spillbacks, and maintains a differentiable mapping from the dynamic demand on the dynamic queue lengths. The model also captures the spatial correlation of all queues adjacent to a node, and derives...

A model for large portfolio credit risk is developed by using results on the asymptotic behavior of stochastic networks. An efficient pricing technique is proposed using a newly-introduced quadrature algorithm. Accurate calibration to iTraxx tranche spreads is demonstrated.
