Learning together better : the structured design of learning teams
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
There is a great need among educators for a way to quickly assign teams in large or distance learning classrooms in a manner superior to random assignment or student self-selection. Forming teams based on knowledge of ...
On queue audience--calculating reach and frequency for supermarket television
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991)
Scheduling in packet radio networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Incremental airline schedule design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
We consider the problem of integrating flight schedule design and fleet assignment decisions at airlines. The flight schedule design problem involves selecting and scheduling the set of flight legs that an airline will ...
Alternatives to the gradient in optimal transfer line buffer allocation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
This thesis describes several directions to replace the gradient in James Schor's gradient algorithm to solve the dual problem. The alternative directions are: the variance and standard deviation of buffer levels, the ...
Conditional dynamics of non-Markovian, infinite-server queues
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
We study the transient dynamics of a partially observed, infinite server queue fed with a Poisson arrival process whose controlled rate is changed at discrete points in time. More specifically, we define a state that ...
Cogeneration in the U.S. : an economic and technical analysis
(MIT Energy Laboratory, 1978-11)
Traditionally, only space heating and transportation have consumed more fuel than industrial process steam generation. Several recent studies have examined electricity and industrial steam supply and have recommended ...
Some aspects of the optimal grouping of stocks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Analysis of batching strategies for multi-item production with yield uncertainty
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
In this thesis, we investigate the batch sizing problem for a custom-job production facility. More specifically, given a production system that has been assigned several different types of custom jobs, we try to derive ...
Calibration of dynamic traffic assignment models with point-to-point traffic surveillance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Accurate calibration of demand and supply simulators within a Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) system is critical for the provision of consistent travel information and efficient traffic management. Emerging traffic ...
