Robust aircraft routing and flight retiming
(Elsevier, 2010-08-01)In this paper, we propose an integrated model for the robust aircraft routing and flight retiming problem. The model optimizes a slack-based robustness measure that explicitly takes heed of passengers in connection and ... -
Robust dual response optimization
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)This article presents a robust optimization reformulation of the dual response problem developed in response surface methodology. The dual response approach fits separate models for the mean and the variance, and analyzes ... -
A robust estimation model for surgery durations with temporal, operational, and surgery team effects
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2015-09)For effective operating room (OR) planning, surgery duration estimation is critical. Overestimation leads to underutilization of expensive hospital resources (e.g., OR time) whereas underestimation leads to overtime and ... -
Robust locomotion control of a self-balancing and underactuated bipedal exoskeleton: Task prioritization and feedback control
(IEEE, 2021-07)This letter presents a study to understand how an underactuated bipedal exoskeleton with an arbitrary human user can exhibit robust dynamic walking behavior despite severe parameter uncertainty and external disturbances. ... -
A robust optimization approach for humanitarian needs assessment planning under travel time uncertainty
(Elsevier, 2020-04-01)We focus on rapid needs assessment operations conducted immediately after a disaster to identify the urgent needs of the affected community groups, and address the problem of selecting the sites to be visited by the ... -
A robust optimization approach for production planning under exogenous planned lead times
(IEEE, 2019)Many production planning models applied in semiconductor manufacturing represent lead times as fixed exogenous parameters. However, in reality, lead times must be treated as realizations of released lots' cycle times, which ... -
Robust parameter design and optimization for quality engineering
(Springer, 2022-03)This paper proposes a methodology to determine the optimal settings of key decision variables that affect the resilience of an engineering design against uncertainty. Uncertainty in quality engineering is often caused by ... -
Robust reformulations of ambiguous chance constraints with discrete probability distributions
(Balikesir University, 2019)This paper proposes robust reformulations of ambiguous chance constraints when the underlying family of distributions is discrete and supported in a so-called ``p-box'' or ``p-ellipsoidal'' uncertainty set. Using the robust ... -
Robust scheduling and robustness measures for the discrete time/cost trade-off problem
(Elsevier, 2010-12-01)Projects are often subject to various sources of uncertainties that have a negative impact on activity durations and costs. Therefore, it is crucial to develop effective approaches to generate robust project schedules that ... -
Robust strategic planning of dynamic wireless charging infrastructure for electric buses
(Elsevier, 2022-02-01)Electromobility in public bus systems is growing rapidly and experiencing a fundamental transformation in their infrastructure and operations. The dilemma of limited driving range and charging time of battery electric buses ... -
A robust voltage control method for universal EV battery charger LLC resonant converters
(IEEE, 2019)In this study, a novel control method for LLC resonant converter with wide output voltage range and constant switching frequency is proposed targeting wide range of Electric Vehicle (EV) battery charger standards. In ... -
RoCoCo: row and column compression for high-performance multiplication on FPGAs
(IEEE, 2011)Multiplication is, in no doubt, one of the top few frequently used operations in hardware and software. In high-performance hardware design, after high-level optimizations are exhausted, component level optimizations are ... -
Rounding heuristics for multiple product dynamic lot-sizing in the presence of queueing behavior
(Elsevier, 2018-12)We present heuristics for solving a difficult nonlinear integer programming (NIP) model arising from a multi-item single machine dynamic lot-sizing problem. The heuristic obtains a local optimum for the continuous relaxation ... -
Routing-aware partitioning of the internet address space for server ranking in CDNs
(Elsevier, 2017-07)The goal of Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) is to serve content to end-users with high performance. In order to do that, a CDN measures the latency on the paths from its servers to users and then selects a best available ... -
A rule-based methodology for automated progress monitoring of construction activities: A case for masonry work
(International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction, 2019)The conventional approach that is used to monitor construction projects is to collect progress data from the construction site through visual investigation. This results in deficient and sometimes erroneous data, and leads ... -
Rumadai: A plug-in to record and replay client-side events of web sites with dynamic content
(IEEE, 2012)Reproducing user events when testing web pages is challenging because of the dynamic nature of the web content and potential dependency on third party content providers. We present Rumadai, a Visual Studio plug-in, that ... -
A run-time verification framework for smart grid applications implemented on simulation frameworks
(IEEE, 2013)Smart grid applications are implemented and tested with simulation frameworks as the developers usually do not have access to large sensor networks to be used as a test bed. The developers are forced to map the implementation ... -
Running of the top quark mass from proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV
(Elsevier, 2020-04-10)The running of the top quark mass is experimentally investigated for the first time. The mass of the top quark in the modified minimal subtraction ((MS) over bar) renormalization scheme is extracted from a comparison of ... -
Runtime verification of component-based embedded software
(Springer, 2011)To deal with increasing size and complexity, component-based software development has been employed in embedded systems. Due to several faults, components can make wrong assumptions about the working mode of the system and ... -
Runtime verification of Iot systems using complex event processing
(IEEE, 2017)Internet of Things (IoT) is a new computing paradigm that is proliferated by wide adoption of application level protocols such as MQTT and CoAP, each of which defines different styles of sequential interaction of events. ...
