We study large-scale service systems with multiple customer classes and many statistically identical servers. The following question is addressed: How many servers are required (s...
We study the important problem of how a supplier should optimally share the consequences of demand uncertainty (i.e., the cost of inventory excesses and shortages) with a retailer...
In many industrial applications, the dynamic control of queuing and routing presents difficult challenges. We describe a novel ant colony control system for a multiobjective sorti...
