A multi-criteria evaluation of diseases in a study for public-health planning

Article Abstract:

Methodologies for group decision making and category scaling Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods were utilized for the multi-criteria evaluation of diseases in a study for public-health planning. Assessment of the seriousness of diseases for public-health planning based on MCDA methods indicated the technical feasibility of large scale MCDA involving multiple decision makers. Furthermore, multi-criteria evaluation of diseases for public health planning based on the MCDA was manageable by a context-related scaling technique.

Stochastic linear programs with restricted recourse

Article Abstract:

Stochastic programs with restricted recourse trading off recourse stability with expected cost is presented. The programs incorporate parameterized satisfying constraints in stochastic programs and evaluations show that the resulting three models can generate sequences of solutions covering a range of recourse robustness. Furthermore, the models reveal cost and robustness sensitivity of different scenarios as well as quantifying their effects and enforcing further robustness.

Solving a two-dimensional trim-loss problem with MILP

Article Abstract:

The trim loss problem of a paper-converting company is considered using mixed integer non-linear programming and mixed integer linear programming (MILP). The resulting algorithm incorporating MILP has been found to be globally optimal in generating cutting patterns as it takes into account widths and lengths of paper rolls as well as cutting patterns and constraints in conversion.
