2013 journal article
Investigating interventions for increasing colorectal cancer screening: Insights from a simulation model
Socio-Economic Planning Sciences, 47(2), 142–155.
author keywords: Simulation; Systems dynamics; Colorectal cancer; Cancer screening; Screening barriers; Cancer prevention policy
TL;DR:
A discrete-event-continuous simulation model of colorectal cancer screening in North Carolina finds that demand side interventions alone are less effective than using only supply side interventions or a combination of both, and that all interventions studied are subject to significant diminishing returns.

Comparison of Enhanced Visual and Haptic Features in a Virtual Reality-Based Haptic Simulation
In Human-Computer Interaction. Interaction Modalities and Techniques (pp. 551–560).
TL;DR:
A comparison of performance test results prior to and following training revealed conditions providing haptic assistance to yield lower scores related to fine motor skill training than the visual-only aiding condition, while training in the visual condition resulted in comparatively lower cognitive skill scores.

An integer programming approach for the view and index selection problem
Data & Knowledge Engineering, 83, 111–125.
author keywords: Business intelligence; Data warehouse and repository; OLAP; Materialized views; View and index selection; Integer programming; Heuristics
TL;DR:
This work proposes an integer programming model for the OLAP view- and index-selection problem and uses heuristic strategies to further reduce the size of this IP model and dramatically reduce its execution time, although it no longer guarantees that the reduced IP model offers a globally optimal solution for the original problem.

2013 chapter
Two-Stage Stochastic View Selection for Data-Analysis Queries
In Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing (pp. 115–123).
TL;DR:
This work considers the problem of selecting an optimal set of views to answer a given collection of queries at the present time as a two-stage stochastic programming problem and shows that this model is equivalent to an integer programming (IP) model that can be solved via various commercial IP solvers.

Allocating job-shop manpower to minimize : Optimality criteria, search heuristics, and probabilistic quality metrics
Computers & Operations Research, 40(10), 2569–2584.
author keywords: Job shop scheduling; Dual resource constrained systems; Maximum lateness; Worker allocation
TL;DR:
This article establishes optimality criteria to verify that a given allocation corresponds to a schedule that yields the minimum value of LmaxLmax, the maximum job lateness, and estimates a probability distribution for evaluating the quality of an allocation delivered by a heuristic search procedure such as HSP.

Prioritization strategies for patient evacuations
Health Care Management Science, 17(1), 77–87.
author keywords: Hospitals; Evacuation; Prioritization; Policy-making
MeSH headings : Algorithms; Computer Simulation; Disaster Planning / organization & administration; Health Care Rationing / organization & administration; Hospital Administration; Policy; Systems Analysis; Transportation of Patients / organization & administration
TL;DR:
A dynamic programming model for emergency patient evacuations is presented to show that a greedy, “all-or-nothing” policy is not always optimal as well as discuss insights of the resulting optimal prioritization strategies for unit- or floor-level evacuations.
