In this paper, we suggest a linear programming formulation that allows for solving volume and capacity planning problems in semiconductor manufacturing systems. We assume a genera...
This paper proposes a systems engineering process utilizing the conceptual artifacts of the Model Driven Architecture (MDA) describing platform independent views of models to capt...
Demand forecast plays a critical role to determine capital investment for capacity planning. Given the involved uncertainties and long lead-time for capacity expansion, semiconduc...
To prepare for the event of bioterrorism, which could spread contagious disease such as anthrax, plague, smallpox, or tularemia to public, local governments in the United States a...
We consider the problem of selecting the best among several heavy-tailed systems using a large deviations perspective. In contrast to the light-tailed setting studied by Glynn and...
This research endeavor focused on the warehouse receiving process at a large food distribution center, which comprises of trucks with goods reaching the destination warehouse, unl...
Complex systems consist of a large number of entities with their independent local rules and goals, along with their interactions. The effect of these properties tends to produce ...

Long cycle times in semiconductor manufacuring represent an increasing challenge for the industry and lead to a growing need of break-through approaches to reduce it. Small lot si...
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an application framework used for creating complex enterprise systems by integrating distributed services. The SOA standards are primarily f...
Discrete-event dynamic systems with feedback, where the behavior of the system depends on the system state, are difficult to model due to the uncertainties and dependencies of sys...
