Learning together better : the structured design of learning teams 

Timmers, Kendell M. (Kendell MacQueen), 1978- (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 ...

Alternatives to the gradient in optimal transfer line buffer allocation 

Tanizar, Ketty, 1978- (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 

Weber, Theophane (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 ...

Degradable airline scheduling : an approach to improve operational robustness and differentiate service quality 

Kang, Laura Sumi, 1977- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
We present a methodology for deriving robust airline schedules that are not vulnerable to disruptions caused by bad weather. In this methodology, the existing schedule is partitioned into independent sub-schedules or layers ...

Two topics in online auctions 

Beil, Damian (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
This thesis studies two operations management topics in online auctions, and is divided into two parts. Motivated by the increasing use of ShopBots to scan Internet auctions, the first part of the thesis analytically ...

Analysis of batching strategies for multi-item production with yield uncertainty 

Siow, Christopher (Christopher Shun Yi) (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 ...

Dynamic planning under uncertainty for theater airlift operations 

Martin, Kiel M. (Kiel Michael) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
In this thesis, we analyze intratheater airlift operations, and propose methods to improve the planning process. The United States Air Mobility Command is responsible for the air component of the world wide U.S. military ...

Large-scale dynamic observation planning for unmanned surface vessels 

Miller, John V. (John Vaala) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
With recent advances in research and technology, autonomous surface vessel capabilities have steadily increased. These autonomous surface vessel technologies enable missions and tasks to be performed without the direction ...

Analysis of employee stock options and guaranteed withdrawal benefits for life 

Shah, Premal (Premal Y.) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
In this thesis we study three problems related to financial modeling. First, we study the problem of pricing Employee Stock Options (ESOs) from the point of view of the issuing company. Since an employee cannot trade or ...

Modeling and responding to pandemic influenza : importance of population distributional attributes and non-pharmaceutical interventions 

Nigmatulina, Karima Robert (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
After reviewing prevalent approaches to the modeling pandemic influenza transmission, we present a simple distributional model that captures the most significant population attributes that alter the dynamics of the outbreak. ...
