Ride-sharing services are one of the top growing sustainable transportation trends led by mobility-as-a-service companies. Ridesharing is a system that provides ability to share vehicles on similar routes for passengers with or nearby destinations short notice, leading decreased costs travelers. At same time, though, it takes longer get from place place, increasing travel time. Therefore, funda...

The use of business intelligence and analytics (BI&A) is often claimed to be a means by which organizations may improve their competitive stance. Despite these claims, there is limited theorizing about the mechanism through which BI&A enables improved organizational outcomes. Based on the dynamic capabilities perspective, and specifically Teece’s (2007) sense, seize, transform conceptualization...

Mathematical programming and artificial intelligence (AI) methods are known as the most effective and applicable procedures to form manufacturing cells in designing a cellular manufacturing system (CMS). In this paper, a bi-objective programming model is presented to consider the cell formation problem that is solved by a proposed multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO). The model c...

In this paper, we consider heterogeneous distributed storage systems (DSSs) having flexible reconstruction degree, where each node in the system has dynamic repair bandwidth and dynamic storage capacity. In particular, a data collector can reconstruct the file at time t using some arbitrary nodes in the system and for an arbitrary node failure the system can be repaired by some set of arbitrary...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a common technique in measuring the relative efficiency of a set of decision making units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. ‎‎Standard DEA models are ‎‎quite limited models‎, ‎in the sense that they do not consider a DMU ‎‎at different times‎. ‎To resolve this problem‎, ‎DEA models with dynamic ‎‎structures have been proposed‎.‎In a recent pape...
