Scalar Equilibria For N-person Games
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2013-10-23)
In this dissertation we develop a scalarization approach for one-shot, n-person games by defining the notion of Scalar Equilibria. We first show that existing solution concepts can be represented as Scalar Equlibria. For ...
Optimized Estimates Based On Multiple Sensor Configuration Knowledge
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2013-10-23)
There has been an increase in the usage of sensor technology as they are adaptable for use in different environments, many of which are hostile to direct human observation, such as regions affected by land mines or forest ...
Parametric Cost Estimation Model For Microchannel Bonding Process Based On Activity Based Costing
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2013-10-22)
The microchannel bonding process was developed to decrease product size and improve product performance. As the microchannel bonding process has moved from research to industrial manufacturing, it has become increasingly ...
Global Optimization Of Nonconvex Piecewise Linear Regression Splines
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2013-10-22)
Global optimization has been applied to a wide variety of science and engineering design problems. Although numerous global optimization techniques have been developed and studied for decades, when used for complex systems ...
Development Of Optimal Decision Model For Multi-system Process Capability Improvements Through A Personnel Environment And Integration (PEI) Framework Utilizing Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Technology
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2013-07-22)
This research describes a framework that minimizes uncertainty and risk in lead time and excessive costs associated with multi-automating systems in very complex and dynamic environments. Further, by seeking to reduce risk ...
Data Mining Based Threshold Development For Novelty Detection
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2013-03-20)
