Scheduling services and security ticket token services in iLab interactive services
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
The iLab architecture allows students to execute laboratory experiments remotely through internet. It supports three different kinds of experiments: batched, interactive and sensor-based. The iLab Interactive Experiments ...
Process optimization in drug discovery
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Novartis is one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, with their research headquarters (Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research) located in Cambridge MA. In this thesis, I explore Novartis's process for ...
Assessing the level of service for shipments originating or terminating on short line railroads
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
This thesis measures railroad freight trip time and trip time reliability for freight rail shipments involving short lines in 2006. It is based on an underlying MIT study commissioned by members of the short line railroading ...
Light-weight materials selection for high-speed naval craft
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
A decision analysis study was conducted on the process of materials selection for high-speed naval craft using the Modified Digital Logic (MDL) method proposed by B. Dehgham-Manshadi et al in ref [17]. The purpose is to ...
Centro Migrante : self-help housing community for transient seafarers in Manila
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
The design of sustainable housing in developing countries involves social, economical and technical issues and requires a more global and integrated planning action. In these countries, housing systems need to be designed ...
Improving high-frequency bus service reliability through better scheduling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Developing a schedule for high-frequency bus routes involves balancing the costs to the passengers in terms of passenger waiting time and in-vehicle time and the cost to the transit agency. Passengers are interested in ...
A comparative analysis of supply chain management practices by Boeing and Airbus : long-term strategic implications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
The goal of this research is to develop an improved understanding of supply chain management strategies and practices being pursued by Boeing and Airbus in the 787 Dreamliner and the A380 Navigator programs, respectively, ...
Optimizing and verifying an ensemble-based rainfall model
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
In this thesis, I modified, optimized, and verified the stochastic Recursive Cluster-point Rainfall model of Chatdarong (2006). A novel error metric allows comparison of the stochastic ensemble of rainfall image forecasts ...
Lane changing models for arterial traffic
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Driving behavior models for lane-changing and acceleration form an integral component of microscopic traffic simulators and determine its value in evaluation of different traffic management strategies. The state-of-art ...
Robust optimization for network-based resource allocation problems under uncertainty
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
We consider large-scale, network-based, resource allocation problems under uncertainty, with specific focus on the class of problems referred to as multi-commodity flow problems with time-windows. These problems are at the ...
