Guest Editor's Introduction: Special Section on Mathematics and Visualization

WELCOME to the special section on Mathematics and Visualization. Mathematics is becoming an increasingly important tool in visualization, aiding the development and analysis of efficient algorithms and data structures. As visualization is beginning to evolve into a mature science and the underlying technology is becoming increasingly complex, the need for a rigorous framework is becoming obviou...

This paper reviews a cyclic scheduling model of repetitive manufacturing environments consisting of exible machines and multi-stage jobs. We explicitly model two system performance measures, throughput and ow time, while incorporating variability arising from uncertainty in operation processing times. We present an iterative approximation scheme to estimate the two moment behavior of our perfor...
