Heuristic algorithms for aircraft sequencing problem
(2012 , Conference Paper)
Delays in flights resulting in multi-billion-dollar losses are declared annually worldwide. Hence, an identification of air traffic policies that can reduce frequent and costly inefficiencies is needed. The problem of ...
Multiple-runway aircraft sequencing problems using mixed-integer programming
(
Institute of Industrial Engineers
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
We examine aircraft sequencing problems over multiple runways, under mixed mode operations, with the objective of minimizing the total weighted tardiness of aircraft landings and departures. A mixed-integer programming ...
The elicitation of key performance indicators of e-Government providers: A bottom-up approach
(
European and Mediterranean Conference on Information Systems
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Delivering an adequate e-Government service (e-service) is becoming more of a necessity in today's digital world. In order to improve e-services and increase the engagement of both users' and providers' side, studies on ...
Bank efficiency assessment using a hybrid approach of random forests and data envelopment analysis
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This study introduces a three-stage integrated framework consisting of data envelopment analysis (DEA), random forest, and logistic regression to examine and predict the impact of environmental variables on banks' performance. ...
Boundary optimal control of coupled parabolic PDE-ODE systems
(
IFAC Secretariat
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
This paper deals with boundary optimal control problem for coupled parabolic PDEODE systems. The problem is studied using infinite-dimensional state space representation of the coupled PDE-ODE system. Linearization of the ...
Model predictive control of selective catalytic reduction in diesel-powered vehicles
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper proposes a method to synthesize an optimal controller for the SCR section of the diesel exhaust after-treatment system, which is based on a system model consisting of coupled hyperbolic and parabolic partial ...
Single-step feedback linearization with assignable dynamics for hyperbolic PDE
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The present work proposes an extension of single-step feedback linearization with pole-placement formulation to the class of nonlinear hyperbolic systems. In particular, the mathematical formulation in the context of ...
Structural topology optimization considering complexity
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
As topology optimization is a free-form approach to optimizing structural layout, it has a tendency to design structures that are topologically complex. In large-scale structures, this complexity drives construction costs ...
Application of a property-based inherently safety quantification framework for integrating risk assessment into process safety life cycle
(
AIChE
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Process plant involves different types of risks which need to be managed appropriately to avoid dangerous incidents. Some risks are associated with design decisions such as choice of unit, chemicals or design layout etc. ...
Energy integration alternatives for effective use of waste heat associated with flaring during abnormal situation
(
AIChE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This work reports a multi-objective optimization frame work for new/modified design solutions for energy integration to manage flares from uncertain sources during abnormal situation. It also suggests some energy integration ...
