Accounting for Estimation Optimality Criteria in Simulated Annealing

Goovaerts, Pierre - 1998

This paper presents both estimation and simulation as optimization problems that differ in the optimization criteria … simulation. An intermediate approach is proposed whereby an initial random image is gradually modified using simulated annealing … simulation ignoring local constraints, but not as accurate as E-type estimation. Flow simulation results show that accounting for …

Analysis of Make(Repair)-to-stock Queues with State-dependent Arrival Rates

Liang, William Kun - 2011

In this thesis, we study the repair shop scheduling problem(repair-to-stock) and the production/inventory system pricing and production scheduling problem(make-to-stock). For both types of problems, we compare the performance of different scheduling policies. For the make-to-stock type problem,...

Optimal Pricing for a Service Facility with Congestion Penalties

Maoui, Idriss - 2006

We consider the optimal pricing problem in a service facility in order to maximize its long-run average profit per unit time. We model the facility as a queueing process that may havefinite or infinite capacity. Customers are admitted into the system if it is not full and if they are willing to...

Decision Making with Uncertainty: Applications to Queueing Theory and Market Research.

Potoff, Matthew L. - 2009

In the first section, a firm with two servers must decide how to dynamically route arriving customers and allocate servers to two separate queues. The servers may work together or separately, and we provide insights into how the firm should optimally route customers and assign servers to queues....
