The capacity of a runway system represents a bottleneck at many international airports. The current practice at airports is to land approaching aircraft on a first-come, first-served basis. An active rescheduling of aircraft landing times increases runway capacity or reduces delays. The problem...

This research addresses a shift scheduling problem in which physicians are assigned to demand periods. We develop a reduced set covering approach that requires shift templates to be generated for a single day and compare it to an implicit modeling technique where shift-building rules are...

This paper proposes a new approach for the time-dependent analysis of stochastic and non-stationary queueing systems. The analysis of a series of stationary queueing models leads to a new approximation of time-dependent performance measures. Based on a stationary backlog-carryover (SBC)...
