Perspectives On Machine Learning Inference Serving in Real‐World Settings

open access: yesSoftware: Practice and Experience, Volume 56, Issue 6, Page 734-757, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction As machine learning (ML)‐enabled systems become increasingly prevalent across industries, the engineering challenges of deploying and maintaining them in production have emerged as critical. The existing engineering knowledge base often derives from conceptual frameworks or case studies conducted by large technology companies ...

The Disk Layout Problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Imagine that we keep a daily log of the files that our computer reads from its hard disk. For most computer users the logs of one day compared to the next may be very similar. For example, opening up a commonly used program may require access to the same

Customer mobility and congestion in supermarkets

open access: yes, 2019
The analysis and characterization of human mobility using population-level mobility models is important for numerous applications, ranging from the estimation of commuter flows in cities to modeling trade flows between countries.

Design of a manufacturing facility layout with a closed loop conveyor with shortcuts using queueing theory and genetic algorithms [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 2011 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC), 2011
Most current manufacturing facility layout problem solution methods aim at minimizing the total distance traveled, the material handling cost, and/or the time spent in the system (based on distance traveled at a specific speed). The methodology proposed in this paper solves the looped layout design problem for a looped layout manufacturing facility ...

The Impact of Self‐Checkout Technology on Shopping Behavior in B2B Retail: Evidence From Point‐Of‐Sale Transaction Data

open access: yesJournal of Consumer Behaviour, Volume 25, Issue 3, Page 1139-1168, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of self‐checkout technology implementation on B2B customer shopping behavior using a novel methodological approach that combines propensity score matching with difference‐in‐differences analysis on actual point‐of‐sale transaction data.

Scheduling of non-repetitive lean manufacturing systems under uncertainty using intelligent agent simulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
World-class manufacturing paradigms emerge from specific types of manufacturing systems with which they remain associated until they are obsolete. Since its introduction the lean paradigm is almost exclusively implemented in repetitive manufacturing ...

Service Work as Lived Experience: A Problematizing Review

open access: yesHuman Resource Management, Volume 65, Issue 3, Page 731-748, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Between employee burnout and growing recruitment challenges, a systemic crisis confronts the service industry. One reason lies in the scope of received human resource management (HRM) approaches, which often emphasize organizational performance metrics at the expense of the emotional, social, and material experiences of doing frontline service

Guilt‐Free Indulgence: How Cultural‐Creative Elements Transform Visitor Experiences in Integrated Casino Resorts

open access: yesInternational Journal of Tourism Research, Volume 28, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Integrated resorts (IRs) increasingly embed cultural and creative elements (CCEs) to buffer the moral tension that often accompanies hedonic consumption, yet the underlying psychological mechanisms remain underexplored. Drawing on cue utilization theory and cognitive dissonance theory, this study examines how CCE‐embedded extrinsic and ...
