Burstiness and Uncertainty Aware Service Level Planning for Enterprise Clouds
As enterprises begin to increasingly adopt the cloud paradigm, Cloud Service Providers (SPs) need tools to help them plan their infrastructure capacity and decide on Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with customers prior to deploying their customers' applications. Service Level Objectives (SLOs) are …

Capacity and Operational Performance Optimization under External Constraints with Uncertainty
This thesis presents novel models to investigate the significant impacts of globalization, demand uncertainty, competition, and external emissions regulations on firms' profitability, operational performance, and decision-making processes. The models relax common simplifying assumptions (i.e., …

Magnetic Stabilization of Nadir-Pointing Small Satellites
<p>Since magnetic control systems are relatively lightweight, require low power and are inexpensive, they are attractive for small, inexpensive satellites in low Earth orbits. In this thesis we present averaging-based feedback control laws that achieve three-axis stabilized nadir-pointing attitude. …

Enhanced Representations of Probabilistic Resource Adequacy Risk in Power System Capacity Expansion Modeling
Power system infrastructure investment optimizations traditionally rely on capacity-based reserve margin heuristics to produce least-cost solutions that also meet probabilistic resource adequacy criteria. While these conventional strategies have always had shortcomings, they are becoming …

Robust optimization for network-based resource allocation problems under uncertainty
We consider large-scale, network-based, resource allocation problems under uncertainty, with specific focus on the class of problems referred to as multi-commodity flow problems with time-windows. These problems are at the core of many network-based resource allocation problems. Inherent data …

Real-time Multi-period truckload routing problems
In this thesis we consider a multi-period truckload pick-up and delivery problem dealing with real-time requests over a finite time horizon. We introduce the notion of postponement of requests, whereby the company can postpone some requests to the next day in order to improve its operational …

Simulated annealing heuristics for the dynamic facility layout problem
Today's consumer market demands that manufacturers must be competitive. This requires the efficient operation of manufacturing plants and their ability to quickly respond to changes in product mix and demand. Studies show that material handling cost makes up between 20 and 50 percent of the total …
