A dynamic mechanism design problem is considered. We suppose dynamic population and identical perishable goods, such as time slots of a central facility and hotel rooms. We consider a situation where each agent needs to keep an object for more than one period to make profits. The seller makes...

We consider a production planning problem for a general jobshop producing a number of products and subject to breakdown and repair of machines. The machine capacities are modeled as Markov chains. The objective is to choose the rates of production of the final products and intermediate parts on...

In recent years it is witnessed that the Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are becoming the most promising technology as they offer low cost broadband wireless connectivity, larger coverage area, high flexibility and easy deployment. WMNs are an extension of existing wireless networks. WMN is an...

Technology commercialization managers are often faced with (1) training inventors on intellectual property (IP) laws and IP policies, (2) evaluating invention disclosures for patentability and marketability, (3) drafting and implementing invention marketing plans, and (4) working closely with...

MapReduce is a popular parallel programming model used to solve wide range of BigData applications in cloud computing environment. Hadoop is an open source implementation MapReduce and widely used by vast amount of users. It provides an abstracted environment for running large scale data...

The study investigates mathematical models on reservoir operation problem and provided a yield model (YM) based on Linear programming method for Isapur dam in India. Linear programming, ruled by evolution techniques, has become popular for solving optimization problems in diversified fields of...

This paper considers a dairy industry problem on integrated planning and scheduling a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) formulation is introduced to integrate tactical and operational decisions with uncertain demand and a heuristic approach is proposed to decompose time buckets of the...

Every industry face the challenges of improving productivity in order to remain successful in a highly competitive environment. Every year input costs goes higher and industry is responsible to provide the better products at lower costs to the end customer by improving the efficiency of the...

We study the question of scheduling impatient customers in parallel server queuing systems. At the time of arrival, customers can be identified as one of many classes, where the class represents the service time and patience time distributions, and cost characteristics. From the system's...
