  • an Acquisition Policy for a single item multi supplier system with real world constraints
    Applied Mathematical Modelling, 2006
    Co-Authors: Chingter Chang
    Abstract:

    Abstract This paper proposes an exact Acquisition Policy for solving the single-item multi-supplier problem with real-world constraints. Compared with the model of Rosenblatt et al. [Note. An Acquisition Policy for a single item multi-supplier system, Manage. Sci. 44 (1998) S96–S100], the proposed method has contributions in that the global optimal solutions can be obtained to indicate the best Acquisition Policy, and real-world constraints can easily be added as appropriate for real-world situations. In addition, the benefits of price-quantity discount (PQD) under conditions of the single item muti-supplier system are also considered in the paper.

  • GCC - ORSP: An Efficient Resource Acquisition Policy for Peer-to-Peer Mesh Streaming Systems
    2010 Ninth International Conference on Grid and Cloud Computing, 2010
    Co-Authors: Feng Xiao, Zhongzhi Luan, Rui Wang, Depei Qian
    Abstract:

    As a superior approach for peer-to-peer (P2P) streaming live media, mesh-based overlay has made much success due to its potential scalability and ease of deployment. Peers in mesh streaming systems employ a swarming content delivery mechanism to exchange resources. However, the limited availability of new content heavily affects the quality of delivered stream. Aiming at leveraging and optimizing the resources of participating peers to distribute contents, we propose ORSP, an efficient resource Acquisition Policy for mesh content distribution services. Instead of choosing coming stream randomly with limited bandwidth, ORSP (i) instructs each peer to derive a combination of stream from a gathered subset of peers that maximizes the delivered stream, and (ii) guarantees that peers with more available stream are firstly selected to provide stream in order to balance the whole network resources. Simulation results show that ORSP optimizes stream selection manner that enables peers to obtain more available resources, distribution of system resources is prone to be relatively average that helps to decrease the node failure rate for node join in and drop out, accompanied with a little increased source-to-end delay to some degree.

  • an integrated Acquisition Policy for supplier selection and lot sizing considering total quantity discounts and a quality constraint
    Transportation Research Part E-logistics and Transportation Review, 2018
    Co-Authors: Xin Li, Jose A Ventura, Barbara B Venegas, Sang Jin Kweon, Seong Wook Hwang
    Abstract:

    We consider a two-stage supply chain where a buyer purchases a product from multiple capacitated suppliers to satisfy a constant demand rate over a finite planning horizon. Suppliers have different perfect rates and offer total quantity discounts. The buyer selects suppliers and allocates orders to them that satisfy a minimum average quality level. A mathematical model is proposed with the objective on minimizing the total cost per time unit. The model is solved by dualizing the quality constraint. The relaxed model is solved by an efficient dynamic programming algorithm. The subgradient method is used to solve the dual problem.

  • Army repair depot automated test system modernization
    IEEE Instrumentation & Measurement Magazine, 2011
    Co-Authors: David R. Carey
    Abstract:

    This paper analyzes the problem and presents a plan for modernization of ATS at the Army depots that satisfies Army Regulation, AR750-43, and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) ATS Acquisition Policy.

  • Tobyhanna army depot Automated Test System modernization
    IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Magazine, 2011
    Co-Authors: David R. Carey
    Abstract:

    During the last four decades the number of Automated Test Systems (ATS) has experienced tremendous growth at Tobyhanna Army Depot (TYAD). This is characterized in the proliferation through Base Realignment and Closure Acquisition and in-house development of a wide variety of general and special-purpose ATS - to date, there are 94 unique ATS and a total of 230 ATS. With advancing technology and increasingly complex electronic systems, unique ATS has become a problem of maintenance test strategies at the depot; given the high costs of modernizing or replacing ATS and its potential effect on meeting mission success requirements. The aging testers at TYAD are becoming increasingly out-of-date and more difficult to support. When the testers do not work properly, maintenance can suffer and mission readiness can be adversely affected. This will analyze the problem and present a plan for modernization of ATS at TYAD that satisfies Army Regulation, AR750-43, and DoD ATS Acquisition Policy.
