DIORAMA system which is using rapid information collection and accurate resource tracking can assist incident commanders in their attempt to bring order to the chaos as they direct rescue operations for Mass Casualty Incidents (MCI). This system makes use of active Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags to identify the location and status of the patients and responders involved in a MCI. Th...

The concept of “curved perspective” has been used by artists such as M.C. Escher in order effectively convey a sense of three dimensional space while being restricted to a two dimensional canvas. We present an interactive system to create and manipulate projections with a curvilinear perspective. Our system presents the user with a set of intuitive screen-space perspective primitives that contr...

The relationship between supply chain resilience and environmental sustainability (greening) has been a topic of peripheral discussion in the research literature. The aim in this paper is to investigate, from a supply chain modeling perspective, the extent to which supply chain greening and resilience strategies are supportive of each other. A strategic supply chain design model is introduced t...

Studies have shown that random order crossover helps reduces the risk of an out-of-stock event when an order that was issued later arrives earlier to offset the late arrival of an order issued earlier. The current school of thought is that, although such crossovers create complexities from a modeling perspective, they are surprisingly beneficial in practice since they decrease the realized lead...
