Problem definition: With the rapid growth of the gig economy, on-demand staffing platforms have emerged to help companies manage their temporary workforce. This emerging business-to-business contex…
Problem definition: Cloud computing is recognized as a critical driver of information technology–enabled innovations. The operations management (OM) community, however, has not been exposed enoug…
Nonlinear equalization (NE) plays a pivotal role in the analog intermediate-frequency over fiber (IFoF) mobile fronthaul (MFH) system demanding a high signal fidelity. This work proposes and experi…
The radio over fiber (RoF) system using optical heterodyne (OH) for broadband up-conversion and envelope detection (ED) for phase-noise-insensitive down-conversion stands out as a simple, robust, a…
Problem definition: Warranty reserves are funds used to fulfill future warranty obligations for a product. In this paper, we investigate the warranty reserve planning problem faced by a manufacturi…
A key challenge in the resource allocation problem is to find near-optimal policies to serve different customers with random demands/revenues, using a fixed pool of capacity (properly configured). …
We inscribe and characterize a series of helical intermediate-period fiber gratings (HIPFGs) on single-mode fiber with pitches from 24 μm to 48 μm. The fabricated HIPFGs have low temperature sens…
