Optimizing the Gamma Process

Interpolating Optimizing Process Control

In this paper a new model-based optimizing controller for a set of nonlinear systems is proposed. The nonlinear model set is based on a convex combination of two bounding linear models. An optimal control sequence is computed for each of the two bounding models. The proposed control algorithm is based on a convex combination of the two control sequences. A novel feature in these two optimizatio...

Optimizing Process Model Redesign

In recent years there has been considerable interest in business process redesign. A process model may be redesigned by combining various tasks and services according to best practices so as to satisfy predefined business rules and constraints to achieve a specific purpose. This purpose may be stated in terms of functional goals (such as desired or acceptable process behavior) and non-functiona...

Models for Optimizing the Learn ~ Ng Process

Models for optimizing the learning process.

This paper is concerned with showing how certain instructional problems can be reformulated as problems in the mathematical theory of optimization. A common instructional paradigm is outlined and a notational system is proposed which allows the paradigm to be restated as a multistage decision process with an explicit mathematical learning model embedded within it. The notion of an optimal stimu...

Optimizing Red Blood Cells Consumption Using Markov Decision Process

In healthcare systems, one of the important actions is related to perishable products such as red blood cells (RBCs) units that its consumption management in different periods can contribute greatly to the optimality of the system. In this paper, main goal is to enhance the ability of medical community to organize the RBCs units’ consumption in way to deliver the unit order timely with a focus ...
