  • Multi-objective Optimization for Equitable Post-Disaster Relief Supply Distribution

    Creator:
    Subramaniam, Purnima
    Abstract:
    Humanitarian logistics in the post-disaster phase of an earthquake requires detailed planning about the relief distribution network including assigning available distribution centers (DCs) to the affected areas, distribution of the relief commodities demanded by the affected population, and efficient allocation of the available vehicle fleet for the distribution in a...

  • Energy Analysis of Novel Data Center Cooling Technology : Evaporative Cooling System Operation and Microchannel Heat Exchanger Manufacturing

    Creator:
    Lajevardi, Babak
    Abstract:
    Worldwide, many organizations are pursuing higher energy efficiency by reducing power consumption of their processes, systems, and supporting infrastructure. The rapid growth of the information technology (IT) industry and the miniaturization of semiconductors have resulted in substantial increases in energy consumption and power density of IT equipment, and, subsequently, heat...

  • Coevolution and transfer learning in a point-to-point fleet coordination problem

    Creator:
    Yliniemi, Logan Michael
    Abstract:
    In this work we present a multiagent Fleet Coordination Problem (FCP). In this formulation, agents seek to minimize the fuel consumed to complete all deliveries while maintaining acceptable on-time delivery performance. Individual vehicles must both (i) bid on the rights to deliver a load of goods from origin to destination...

  • Sustainability assessment during early product development : the manufacturing case and the use case

    Creator:
    Seyedmahmoudighomi, Seyedhamed
    Abstract:
    The research explored in this thesis helps provide a better understanding of efforts that have been undertaken to more precisely calculate environmental impacts and human health risks, such as energy consumption, carbon footprint, and toxicity, to support environmental sustainability assessment of products. The work is comprised of two research objectives,...

  • Process modeling the physician-patient encounter

    Creator:
    Tong, Xiaomin
    Abstract:
    The objective of this research was to provide a definitive description of the processes within the physician-patient encounter in an office setting. This description would take the form of a formal process model of the encounter in a provider's office setting, as this represents the most common situation during patient...

  • Multi-Objective Optimization in Multiagent Systems

    Creator:
    Yliniemi, Logan Michael
    Abstract:
    Cooperative multiagent systems are used as solution concepts in many application domains including air traffic control, satellite communications, and extra planetary exploration. As systems become more distributed and complex, we observe three phenomena. First, these systems cannot be accurately modeled, rendering traditional model based control methods inadequate. Second, system parameters...
