This paper continues our study on the management of multi-product, capacitated re-entrant lines. Based on the theoretical framework developed in 2], we discuss some insights obtained by a simulation study. We are interested in understanding the performance of implementable capacity management schemes (No-sharing, Partial Sharing and Total Sharing) and production rules (Linear Scaling, Equalize ...

We show that Karger’s randomized contraction method [7] can be adapted to multiobjective global minimum cut problems with a constant number of edge or node budget constraints to give efficient algorithms. For global minimum cuts with a single edge-budget constraint, our extension of the randomized contraction method has running time Õ(n3) in an n-node graph improving upon the best-known randomi...

In the title compound, C15H23N3O3S·H2O, the piperidine ring has a chair conformation. In the crystal, the sulfonamide mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a layer parallel to (10-1). The layers are inter-connected via N-H⋯Ow, Ow-H⋯N and Ow-H⋯O (w = water) hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.

This paper finds an optimal mechanism for selling a good to a buyer who may be budget-constrained. We consider a seller with one unit of a good facing a buyer with a quasilinear utility function. If the buyer does not face a binding budget constraint, textbook monopoly pricing is optimal. By contrast, the possibility of a binding budget constraint can make it optimal for the seller to use nonli...

This paper analyzes auctions where budget-constrained bidders have options to declare bankruptcy. It predicts a bidding equilibrium that changes discontinuously in a borrowing rate available to bidders. When the borrowing rate is above a threshold, high-budget bidders win, and the likelihood of bankruptcy is low. When the borrowing rate is below the threshold, the winner is the most budget-cons...

Discrete event simulation systems (DESS) are widely used in many diverse areas such as computer-communication networks, exible manufacturing systems, project evaluation and review techniques (PERT), and ow networks. Because of their complexity , such systems are typically analyzed via Monte Carlo simulation methods. This paper deals with optimization of complex computer simulation models involv...

Grids enable sharing, selection and aggregation of geographically distributed resources among various organizations. They are emerging as promising computing paradigms for resource and computeintensive scientific workflow applications modeled as Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) with intricate inter-task dependencies. With the growing popularity of real-time applications, streaming workflows continu...

The term multimedia conjures up visions of desktop computers reproducing digital movies, high-resolution images and stereo sound. While many current systems support such functionality, none do so elegantly{especially when data is fetched and synchronized from dissimilar sources distributed across resource-limited networks. Our research investigates general approaches for managing the ow of mult...
