Optimizing daily agent scheduling in a multiskill call center

, 2009
We examine and compare simulation-based algorithms for solving the agent scheduling problem in a multiskill call center. This problem consists in minimizing the total costs of agents under constraints on the expected service level per call type, per ...

BIOMERO 2.0: End‐to‐end FAIR infrastructure for bioimaging data import, analysis, and provenance

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract We present BIOMERO 2.0, a major evolution of the BIOMERO framework that transforms OMERO into a FAIR‐compliant (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable), provenance‐aware bioimaging platform. BIOMERO 2.0 integrates data import, preprocessing, analysis, and workflow monitoring through an OMERO.web plugin and containerised components ...

Abstract This article investigates how Kenyan citizens access healthcare within the framework of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) reforms. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, it reconceptualizes waiting as a politically structured phenomenon rather than a simple delay. The analysis shows that UHC reforms do not eliminate waiting but instead redistribute it,

Queues with service speed adaptations [PDF]

, 2006
In this paper, we consider various queueing models in which the server can work at two different service speeds. The speed of the server depends on either the number of customers, or the workload.
