Mathematical optimization approaches for facility layout problems: The state-of-the-art and future research directions

Mathematical Models for Immunology: Current State of the Art and Future Research Directions

The advances in genetics and biochemistry that have taken place over the last 10 years led to significant advances in experimental and clinical immunology. In turn, this has led to the development of new mathematical models to investigate qualitatively and quantitatively various open questions in immunology. In this study we present a review of some research areas in mathematical immunology tha...

State-of-the-Art and Future Directions

Disk storage technology still suggests large central disks because of their better price/capacity ratio and their performance characteristics: Accessing a remote fast disk over a local network can be made faster than accessing a local slow disk. Similar arguments apply to keeping other resources in a central place. Examples are high-speed laser printers, phototypesetters, tape drives, and numbe...

Industrial Marketing Organization: Dimensions of the Problem, State- of-the-Art, and Directions for Future Research

The purpose of this paper is to re-launch research on industrial marketing organization. The authors argue that the degree of attention the topic receives in the academic community is diametrically opposed to its relevance to practitioners. Starting off with a summary of the extant literature on the topic they present the findings from a qualitative study aiming at identifying current trends an...

Adaptation Approaches in Unsupervised Learning: A Survey of the State-of-the-Art and Future Directions

Ridesharing: The state-of-the-art and future directions

Although ridesharing can provide a wealth of benefits, such as reduced travel costs, congestion, and consequently less pollution, there are a number of challenges that have restricted its widespread adoption. In fact, even at a time when improving communication systems provide real-time detailed information that could be used to facilitate ridesharing, the share of work trips that use rideshari...
