An international ambidexterity model to understand new venture internationalization and growth
… studied internationalization processes from an exploitation perspective. This exploitation-focused argument demonstrates an incremental process of international expansion with the internationalization of mature multinational corporations (MNCs). However, the situation is different for …

Efficient Global Optimization of Multidisciplinary System using Variable Fidelity Analysis and Dynamic Sampling Method
… a fidelity-calibration method is developed and applied to lower-fidelity samples. Function values analyzed by lower fidelity analysis methods are updated to have equivalent accuracy to that of the highest fidelity samples, and these calibrated data sets are used to construct a …

Bayesian Optimization for Engineering Design and Quality Control of Manufacturing Systems
… nonstationary, highly corrupted with outliers, and oftentimes constrained by physical laws. Modeling and approximation of their underly- ing response surface functions are extremely challenging. Bayesian optimization is a great statistical tool, based on Bayes rule, used to optimize and model …

Constraint Solving and Optimizationn Using Nature-Inspired Techniques
Constraint solving and optimization is tackled by scientists in almost every area, including scheduling and planning, configuration, resource allocation, finance, computational biology and machine learning. Since classical systematic and mathematical methods cannot effectively provide suitable …

Mother Tree Optimization for Solving Continuous and Discrete Optimization Problems
Continuous and discrete optimization problems play a signi cant role in di erent academic and industrial disciplines. The main objective of a constraint optimization process is to nd a solution for a problem, that satis es a set of constraints while optimizing a given objective function. The exact …

Exploiting insensitivity in stochastic systems to learn approximately optimal policies
… sensor data. Determining policies to effectively and efficiently govern the behavior of the system relative to a stated objective becomes computationally burdensome and, for many systems, impractical for the exact case. Thus, much research has been devoted to determining approximately optimal …

Enabling marketing and innovation capability in the digital economy.
… a network perspective on innovative capabilities and firm performance. The market orientation and the resource-based view that underpin marketing capabilities have mainly treated marketing as internal capability of the firm. As firms are increasingly inter-connected and part of a business …

Robotic Olfactory-Based Navigation with Mobile Robots
… due to the turbulent nature of airflows and the resulting odor plume characteristics. The key to correctly finding an odor source is designing an effective olfactory-based navigation algorithm, which guides the robot to detect emitted odor plumes as cues in finding the source. This …

New Spatio-temporal Hawkes Process Models For Social Good
As more and more datasets with self-exciting properties become available, the demand for robust models that capture contagion across events is also getting stronger. Hawkes processes stand out given their ability to capture a wide range of contagion and self-excitation patterns, including the …
