in the present investigation attempts were made for the first time to use the fundamental color stimulus as the input for a fixed optimized neural network match prediction system. four sets of data having different origins (i.e. different substrate, different colorant sets and different dyeing procedures) were used to train and test the performance of the network. the results showed that the us...

Wireless and mobile communications, as well as the Internet have already got worldwide deployment and are still developing at a rapid pace. Services provided by wireless communications have extended from the simple voice service to multimedia services. It is envisaged that in the next generation wireless networks, heterogeneous wireless access technologies will coexist forming integrated networ...

In recent years, enriching traditional revenue management models by considering the customer choice behavior has been a main challenge for researchers. The terminology for the airline application is used as representative of the problem. A popular and an efficient model considering these behaviors is choice-based deterministic linear programming (CDLP). This model assumes that each customer bel...

In the future IP networks, a wide range of different service classes must be supported and different classes of customers will pay different prices for their used network resources based on Service-Level-Agreements. In this paper, we link resource allocation scheme with pricing strategies and explore the problem of maximizing the revenue of network providers by resource allocation among multipl...

Hidden-city ticket is an interesting airline ticket pricing phenomenon. It occurs when an itinerary connecting at an intermediate city is less expensive than a ticket from the origin to the intermediate city. In such a case, passengers traveling to the intermediate city have an incentive to pretend to be traveling to the final destination, deplane at the connection point and forgo the unused po...

Motivated by emerging applications in workforce management, we consider a class of revenue management problems in systems with reusable resources. The corresponding applications are modeled using the well-known loss network systems (sometime also called the stochastic knapsack model). We use an extremely simple linear program (LP) that provides an upper bound on the best achievable expected lon...
