Staffing Multiskill Call Centers via Linear Programming and Simulation
We study an iterative cutting-plane algorithm on an integer program, for minimizing the staffing costs of a multiskill call center subject to service-level requirements which are e...

Minimizing the object dimensions in circle and sphere packing problems
Given a fixed set of identical or different-sized circular items, the problem we deal with consists on finding the smallest object within which the items can be packed. Circular, ...

The wordlength determination problem of linear time invariant systems with multiple outputs - a geometric programming approach
This paper proposes two new methods for optimizing objectives and constraints. The GP approach is very general and hardware resources in finite wordlength implementation of it allo...
