A Markov decision process approach to temporal modulation of dose fractions in radiation therapy planning.
The current state of the art in cancer treatment by radiation optimizes beam intensity spatially such that tumors receive high dose radiation whereas damage to nearby healthy tissues is minimized. It is common practice to deliver the radiation over several weeks, where the daily dose is a small constant fraction of the total planned. Such a 'fractionation schedule' is based on traditional model...
متن کاملA novel approach in robust group decision making for supply strategic planning
Long-term planning is a challenging process for dealing with problems in big industries. Quick and flexible process of responding to the existing variable requirements are considered in such problems. Some of important strategic decisions which should be made in this field are, namely the way that manufacturing facilities should be applied as well as assignment and design the system of delivery...

متن کاملModeling strategic group dynamics: A hidden Markov approach
With competition playing a critical role in market-based strategic planning and implementation, identifying and understanding competiton and competitive dynamics has become critical. In this vein, the strategic groups perspective has emerged as a powerful means to understand such competitive phenomena. Empirical approaches to model competitive dynamics within the strategic groups framework, how...
متن کاملProcess Modeling: a Decision-Oriented Approach
The process modeling method presented in this paper enables companies to capture, analyze and improve their business processes by using an easy, intuitive graphical notation. The method will explicitly focus on decision points instead of process activities.
