Distributed Transactions: Dissecting the Nightmare

Rachid Guerraoui, Willy Zwaenepoel, Diego Didona, Jingjing Wang

Many distributed storage systems are transactional and a lot of work has been devoted to optimizing their performance, especially the performance of read-only transactions that are considered the most frequent in practice. Yet, the results obtained so far ...

A test of inventory models with permissible delay in payment

Ralf Seifert, Olov Isaksson

Contrary to the long-standing view in the finance literature that firms should maximise payment delays, research in operations management suggests that long payment delays can be suboptimal. In this study, we reconcile these two views by applying a seconda ...

Ambiguous Joint Chance Constraints under Mean and Dispersion Information

Daniel Kuhn, Wolfram Wiesemann, Grani Adiwena Hanasusanto

We study joint chance constraints where the distribution of the uncertain parameters is only known to belong to an ambiguity set characterized by the mean and support of the uncertainties and by an upper bound on their dispersion. This setting gives rise t ...

Secure numerical and logical multi party operations

Bin Lu

We derive algorithms for efficient secure numerical and logical operations in the semi-honest model ensuring statistical or perfect security for secure multi-party computation (MPC). To derive our algorithms for trigonometric functions, we use basic mathem ...

A pilot study on eliciting human operations decision in purchasing and measuring their impact on supply chain efficiency

Rémy Glardon, Souleïman Naciri, Min-Jung Yoo

This paper presents a methodology for eliciting the behavioural model of purchasers' decision-making in a supply chain environment. The objective of the work is to explicitly describe the relationship between a human user's behaviour and the resulting perf ...

The swiss potential of model predictive control for building energy systems

François Maréchal, Luc Girardin, Paul Michael Stadler

This paper presents a preliminary assessment of the potential economic benefit resulting from the use of smart energy management systems in buildings. The proposed approach relies on the application of model predictive control (MPC) and a self-consumption ...

Dexterous Undersea Interventions with Far Distance Onshore Supervision: the DexROV Project

Sylvain Calinon, Ajay Kumar Tanwani

The operation of a ROV requires significant off-shore dedicated manpower to handle and operate the robotic platform. In order to reduce the burden of operations, DexROV proposes to work out more cost effective and time efficient ROV operations, where manne ...

Dispatching rule-based scheduling algorithms in a single machine with sequence-dependent setup times and energy requirements

Yong Chan Choi

The research focuses on the problem of scheduling jobs in a single machine with sequence-dependent setup times and energy requirements in which jobs of multiple types arrive dynamically over time. A setup operation is required to change over the job types ...
