Optimal and approximate algorithms for sequential clinical scheduling with no-shows

IIE Transactions on Healthcare Systems Engineering, 2011
The accessibility and efficiency of outpatient clinic operations are largely affected by appointment schedules. Clinical scheduling is a process of assigning physician appointment times to sequentially calling patients. A significant problem in clinical operations is patient no-show, that is, scheduled patients not showing for their appointments ...

Advanced approximations for sequential optimization with discrete material interpolations

Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization, 2015
The DMO (discrete material optimization) technique is employed in structural synthesis dealing with the selection of a material belonging to a group of candidate materials. It has mainly been employed in the optimization for orientation of layers of composite laminates.

Optimization of Weights in Sequential Approximation Multi-Objective Optimization by Using DEA

13th AIAA/ISSMO Multidisciplinary Analysis Optimization Conference, 2010
With the development of excellent software in optimization, there is more and more wishes to use these techniques and make epoch developments in their products. However, most of us know that it costs a lot of time and costs to carry out optimization, because it needs to repeat simulations for the number of times. Therefore, most engineers would like to

A CAD/CAE integrated framework for structural design optimization using sequential approximation optimization

Advances in Engineering Software, 2014
Abstract This paper presents an open and integrated framework that performs the structural design optimization by associating the improved sequential approximation optimization (SAO) algorithm with the CAD/CAE integration technique. In the improved SAO algorithm, a new estimate of the width of Gaussian kernel functions is proposed to enhance the ...

On diagonal QP subproblems for sequential approximate optimization

2009
Sequential approximate optimization (SAO) methods aimed at structural optimization often use reciprocal-like approximations in a dual setting; the method of moving asymptotes (MMA) and CONLIN are important and telling examples. Using a different (if related) approach, we have previously demonstrated that replacement of the reciprocal approximation by ...
