Siting samplers to minimize expected time to detection.
We present a probabilistic approach to designing an indoor sampler network for detecting an accidental or intentional chemical or biological release, and demonstrate it for a real building. In an earlier article, Sohn and Lorenzetti developed a proof of concept algorithm that assumed samplers could return measurements only slowly (on the order of hours). This led to optimal "detect to treat" ar...
متن کاملStochastic Scheduling to Minimize Expected Lateness in Multiple Identical Machines
There are many real world problems in which parameters like the arrival time of new jobs, failure of resources, and completion time of jobs change continuously. This paper tackles the problem of scheduling jobs with random due dates on multiple identical machines in a stochastic environment. First to assign jobs to different machine centers LPT scheduling methods have been used, after that the ...
متن کاملBayesian Design of Inventory Systems to Minimize Expected Operating Costs
Inventory management requires optimal determination of (a) “when to order”, and (b) “how much to order”. One also needs here two answers—what should be stocked initially, and should one adjust (a) and (b) as time progresses? This paper uses the Bayesian approach to answer these. It uses the classical (s, Q) model and a heuristic search in the unstructured decision space. It finds that one can m...
متن کاملSelf-designing group sequential trials to minimize expected sample size
Sample size estimation is an essential step in the design of clinical trials. For normal data, the calculation is based on estimates of the mean and variance of the treatment effect. These estimates are often unreliable because they are based on smaller studies, possibly looking at a different population than the one of interest. If the true treatment effect is overestimated and/or the variance...
متن کاملSelf-Adjusting Networks to Minimize Expected Path Length
Given a network infrastructure (e.g., a grid, datacenter or on-chip-network) and a distribution on the sourcedestination requests, the expected path (route) length is an important measure for the performance, efficiency and power consumption of the network. In this work we initiate a study on self-adjusting networks: networks that use local-distributed mechanisms to adjust the position of the n...
