Robert has most recently served as senior vice president of corporate development and as vice president of merger integration, overseeing the integration efforts following Sallie Mae’s acquisition of USA Group’s guarantee servicing, student loan servicing and secondary market operations in July 2001. Prior to this assignment, Robert has served as a Vice president of application development in S...

the location-routing problem is a relatively new branch of logistics system. its objective is to determine a suitable location for constructing distribution warehouses and proper transportation routing from warehouse to the customer. in this study, the location-routing problem is investigated with considering fuzzy servicing time window for each customer. another important issue in this regard ...

Satellite servicing is a high priority task for NASA and the space industry, addressing the needs of a variety of missions, and potentially lowering the overall cost of missions through refurbishment and reuse. However, the ability to service satellites is severely limited by the lack of long reach manipulation capability and inability to launch new devices due the end of the Space Transport Sy...

UNLABELLED Biologists routinely use Microsoft Office applications for standard analysis tasks. Despite ubiquitous internet resources, information needed for everyday work is often not directly and seamlessly available. Here we describe a very simple and easily extendable mechanism using Web Services to enrich standard MS Office applications with internet resources. We demonstrate its capabiliti...

After two years of online experiments, Tom van Vianen, CEO, felt certain it was time to fully implement STATER NV’s new “e-servicing” concept with a cohesive strategy. Established in 1997 in The Netherlands and headquartered in Amersfoort, STATER had 27 business clients and serviced over 80 different mortgage portfolios of more than 450,000 mainly residential loans in the Netherlands, Belgium, ...

In this contribution we present a new methodological framework and first results for real-time monitoring of object behaviour in aircraft servicing scenes, such as arrival preparation, unloading, tanking and others, based on video streams from several cameras. The focus is on incremental real-time interpretation of multiple object tracks. We show that the temporal structure of complex, partiall...

Any future space debris removal or on-orbit servicing mission faces the problem of the initial relative orbit determination of the servicing satellite to the noncooperative target. In this work we analyze the relative navigation accuracy that can be achieved in low Earth orbit, by using ground-based orbit determination from radar tracking measurements for the target, and classical GPS-based orb...

Technological innovations in the mortgage industry have had profound impacts on every step in the homeownership process. Much of the literature has focused on the front end of the process, particularly the impacts of automated underwriting systems. Literature on loan servicing has focused on the borrower option to default with little attention paid to degrees of default or loss mitigation effor...
