Asymptotically optimal idling in the GI/GI/N+GI queue [PDF]
Operations Research Letters, 2022 We formulate a control problem for a GI/GI/N+GI queue, whose objective is to trade off the long-run average operational costs (i.e., abandonment costs and holding costs) with server utilization costs. To solve the control problem, we consider an asymptotic regime in which the arrival rate and the number of servers grow large.

Annual Review of Public Health, 2002 ▪ Abstract Geographic information systems (GIS) and related technologies like remote sensing are increasingly used to analyze the geography of disease, specifically the relationships between pathological factors (causative agents, vectors and hosts, people) and their geographical environments.

Perfect sampling of GI/GI/c queues [PDF]
Queueing Systems, 2018 We introduce the first class of perfect sampling algorithms for the steady-state distribution of multi-server queues with general interarrival time and service time distributions. Our algorithm is built on the classical dominated coupling from the past protocol. In particular, we use a coupled multi-server vacation system as the upper bound process and

The different identities of GIS and GIS diffusion [PDF]
International Journal of Geographical Information Science, 1999 GIS managers traditionally consider three perspectives of the nature of GIS when introducing GIS into an organization. When the GIS is developed to address focused and well de® ned problems of the organization, these perspect- ives adequatelydescribethe changingidentities of GISin thestudyof itsdiA usion.

On the Distribution of AoI for the GI/GI/1/1 and GI/GI/1/2 Systems: Exact Expressions and Bounds [PDF]
IEEE INFOCOM 2019 - IEEE Conference on Computer Communications, 2019 Since Age of Information (AoI) has been proposed as a metric that quantifies the freshness of information updates in a communication system, there has been a constant effort in understanding and optimizing different statistics of the AoI process for classical queueing systems.

GIS and Computational Notebooks [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021 Researchers and practitioners across many disciplines have recently adopted computational notebooks to develop, document, and share their scientific workflows - and the GIS community is no exception. This chapter introduces computational notebooks in the geographical context.

, 2022 The historical GIS is, without any doubt, a powerful means of communication of historical phenomena for the public and also of collecting georeferenceable historical source through crowdsourcing activities, but the complexity of the data model underlying a GIS can also distance the public from understanding the complexity of the phenomena themselves ...

GIS and Types of GIS Education Programs
Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2012 AbstractRecent developments in mapping technologies that forms data for planning and decision mechanism, makes it necessary to use these technologies by forming “clever maps” through geographical information systems (GIS). Up to now, the concept of GIS couldn’t be understood both in educational institutions and at private sector.

The limits of GIS: Towards a GIS of place
Transactions in GIS, 2018 AbstractIn this article we reflect back on our decade‐long collaboration on the geographies of the Holocaust to argue for a GIS of place. Our previous work on ghettoization in Budapest and on the spatio‐temporal patterns of Jewish persecution in Italy had a marked spatial dimension, both in the research questions we set out to answer and the methods we
