Disruptions are inevitable during airline operations, and disruptions cost airlines and the traveling public. Disruption recovery decisions are often made in a sequential process that includes flight rescheduling, aircraft rerouting, crew…
Industrial timetabling is a critical task for decision-makers across various sectors to ensure efficient system operation. In real-world settings, it remains challenging because unexpected events often disrupt execution. When such events…
This paper proposes a scenario-based framework for predictive maintenance scheduling under uncertainty in a finite planning horizon. The considered setting involves multiple assets for which maintenance decisions are informed by three…
We study a single-server scheduling problem for the objective of minimizing the expected cumulative holding cost incurred by jobs, where parameters defining stochastic job holding costs are unknown to the scheduler. We consider a general…
Job scheduling under various constraints to achieve global optimization is a well-studied problem. However, in scenarios that involve time-dependent constraints, such as scheduling backup jobs, achieving global optimization may not always…
We consider some crucial problems related to the secure and reliable operation of power systems with high renewable penetrations: how much reserve should we procure, how should reserve resources distribute among different locations, and how…
This paper presents a schedule randomization algorithm that reduces the vulnerability of real-time systems to timing inference attacks which attempt to learn the timing of task execution. It utilizes run-time information readily available…
Modular Aerial Robotic Systems (MARS) consist of multiple drone units assembled into a single, integrated rigid flying platform. With inherent redundancy, MARS can self-reconfigure into different configurations to mitigate rotor or unit…
In Real-time system, utilization based schedulability test is a common approach to determine whether or not tasks can be admitted without violating deadline requirements. The exact problem has previously been proven intractable even upon…
The increasing electrification of human activities and the rapid integration of variable renewable energy sources strain the power grid. A solution to address the need for more grid storage is to use the battery of electric vehicles as a…
This paper proposes risk-averse and risk-agnostic formulations to robust design in which solutions that satisfy the system requirements for a set of scenarios are pursued. These scenarios, which correspond to realizations of uncertain…
The automation of composite sheet layup is essential to meet the increasing demand for composite materials in various industries. However, draping plans for the robotic layup of composite sheets are not robust. A plan that works well under…
Real-time systems increasingly use multicore processors in order to satisfy thermal, power, and computational requirements. To exploit the architectural parallelism offered by the multicore processors, parallel task models, scheduling…
Scheduling of personnel in a hospital environment is vital to improving the service provided to patients and balancing the workload assigned to clinicians. Many approaches have been tried and successfully applied to generate efficient…
Inventory management, vehicle routing, and delivery scheduling decisions are simultaneously considered in the context of the inventory routing problem. This paper focuses on the continuous-time version of this problem where, unlike its more…
Crew pairing optimization (CPO) is critically important for any airline, since its crew operating costs are second-largest, next to the fuel-cost. CPO aims at generating a set of flight sequences (crew pairings) covering a flight-schedule,…
This paper investigates the robust nonlinear close formation control problem. It aims to achieve precise position control at dynamic flight operation for a follower aircraft under the aerodynamic impact due to the trailing vortices…
A complex multi-state redundant system undergoing preventive maintenance and experiencing multiple events is being considered in a continuous time frame. The online unit is susceptible to various types of failures, both internal and…
We study operations of a battery energy storage system under a baseline-based demand response (DR) program with an uncertain schedule of DR events. Baseline-based DR programs may provide undesired incentives to inflate baseline consumption…
Application of UAV in indoor environment is emerging nowadays due to the advancements in technology. UAV brings more space-flexibility in an occupied or hardly-accessible indoor environment, e.g., shop floor of manufacturing industry,…
