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 ... -
Dynamic Scanning Probe Lithography and Its Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-25)This dissertation presents a novel, benchtop, low-cost, high-throughput direct surface patterning method dubbed dynamic-Scanning Probe Lithography (d-SPL). It employs a scriber mounted via a spring-damper mechanism to a ... -
Dynamic Scheduling and Control of MEA Absorption Processes for CO2 Capture Using gProms
(University of Waterloo, 2019-07-03)There are three general approaches for the mitigation of carbon emissions from fossil fuel fired power plants; pre-combustion, oxyfuel and post-combustion carbon capture. The post-combustion absorption process using MEA ... -
A Dynamic Scratchpad Memory Unit for Predictable Real-Time Embedded Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-17)Scratch-pad memory is a popular alternative to caches in real-time embedded systems due to its advantages in terms of timing predictability and power consumption. However, dynamic management of scratch-pad content is ... -
Dynamic Security Orchestration System Leveraging Machine Learning
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-20)A Content Delivery Network (CDN) employs edge-servers caching content close to end-users to provide high Quality of Service (QoS) in serving digital content. Attacks against edge-servers are known to cause QoS degradation ... -
Dynamic Simulation of MEA Absorption Process for CO2 Capture from Power Plants
(University of Waterloo, 2012-02-21)A dynamic MEA absorption process model has been developed to study the operability of this process in a dynamic fashion and to develop a control strategy to maintain the operation of the MEA scrubbing CO2 capture process ... -
Dynamic Stall on Pitching Cambered Airfoil with Phase Offset Trailing Edge Flap
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2020-04-20)Dynamic stall on wind turbine blades often leads to severe fatigue that tends to decrease the lifespan of the blades. To mitigate cyclic loading on the blades, trailing edge flaps (TEF) may be used to control the energy ... -
Dynamic Storage Provisioning with SLO Guarantees
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-25)Static provisioning of storage resources may lead to over-provisioning of resources, which increases costs, or under-provisioning, which runs the risk of violating application-level QoS goals. Toward this end, virtualization ... -
Dynamic Surface Tension as a Probe of Irreversible Adsorption of Nanoparticles at Fluid-Fluid Interfaces
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-26)Adsorption-mediated self-assembly of nanoparticles at fluid interfaces, driven by reduction in interfacial energy, leads to stabilization of emulsions and foams and can be used for the bottom-up fabrication of functional ... -
Dynamic Time-Stable Geocast Routing in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks
