A dynamic Mover–Stayer model for recurrent event processes subject to resolution
(Springer US, 2014-07)In studies of affective disorder, individuals are often observed to experience recurrent symptomatic exacerbations warranting hospitalization. Interest may lie in modeling the occurrence of such exacerbations over time ... -
Dynamic Optimization Applied for Modelling and Optimal Control of a Packed Bed Reactor for Chemical-Looping Combustion
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-26)Chemical-looping combustion (CLC) has recently emerged as a promising technology capable of curbing CO2 emissions while also reducing the energy penalty entailed in carbon capture and sequestration (CCS). The novelty of ... -
A dynamic optimization framework for integration of design, control and scheduling of multi-product chemical processes under disturbance and uncertainty
(Elsevier, 2017-11-02)A novel dynamic optimization framework is presented for integration of design, control, and scheduling for multi-product processes in the presence of disturbances and parameter uncertainty. This framework proposes an ... -
Dynamic path following controllers for planar mobile robots
(University of Waterloo, 2011-10-27)In the field of mobile robotics, many applications require feedback control laws that provide perfect path following. Previous work has shown that transverse feedback linearization is an effective approach to designing ... -
Dynamic Personalization of Gameful Interactive Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2019-07-17)Gameful design, the process of creating a system with affordances for gameful experiences, can be used to increase user engagement and enjoyment of digital interactive systems. It can also be used to create applications ... -
Dynamic Pricing in The Presence of Strategic Consumer with Product and Intertemporal Substitution
(University of Waterloo, 2011-05-24)This study develops a dynamic pricing model with a quality substitutable product, taking into account strategic and myopic consumers. In each of the two periods, the firm can choose between offering a high quality product, ... -
Dynamic Pricing Schemes in Combinatorial Markets
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-01)In combinatorial markets where buyers are self-interested, the buyers may make purchases that lead to suboptimal item allocations. As a central coordinator, our goal is to impose prices on the items of the market so that ... -
Dynamic pricing under demand uncertainty in the presence of strategic consumers
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-26)We study the effect of strategic consumer behavior on pricing, inventory decisions, and inventory release policies of a monopoly retailer selling a single product over two periods facing uncertain demand. We consider ... -
Dynamic Programming: Salesman to Surgeon
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-15)Dynamic Programming is an optimization technique used in computer science and mathematics. Introduced in the 1950s, it has been applied to many classic combinatorial optimization problems, such as the Shortest Path Problem, ... -
Dynamic recrystallization during strip rolling of HSLA steels and prediction of roll forces using artificial neural networks
(University of Waterloo, 1997) -
Dynamic Resource Provisioning and Scheduling in SDN/NFV-Enabled Core Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-17)The service-oriented fifth-generation (5G) core networks are featured by customized network services with differentiated quality-of-service (QoS) requirements, which can be provisioned through network slicing enabled by ... -
Dynamic Resource Provisioning for an Interactive System
(University of Waterloo, 2009-06-16)In a data centre, server clusters are typically used to provide the required processing capacity to provide acceptable response time performance to interactive applications. The workload of each application may be time-varying. ... -
A Dynamic Risk-Based Access Control Approach: Model and Implementation
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-18)Access control (AC) refers to mechanisms and policies that restrict access to resources, thus regulating access to physical or virtual resources of an information system. AC approaches are used to represent these mechanisms ... -
Dynamic Robust Multi-Class Advance Patient Scheduling
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-01)In this work, we study an advance patient scheduling problem where patients of different classes have different service times and incur different waiting costs to the system. It is known in the literature that multi-class ... -
Dynamic Route Planning for Last-Mile Delivery
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-25)There has never been a time with more demand than now for e-retailing and as a consequence last-mile services. The growth in demand is also bringing significant challenges. With the abundance of options, customers are ever ... -
Dynamic Scale-out Mechanisms for Partitioned Shared-Nothing Databases
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-30)For a database system used in pay-per-use cloud environments, elastic scaling becomes an essential feature, allowing for minimizing costs while accommodating fluctuations of load. One approach to scalability involves ... -
