This paper offers a new standard, called MOSDEX (Mathematical Optimization Solver Data EXchange), for managing the interaction of data with solvers for mathematical optimization. The rationale for this standard is to take advantage of modern software tools that can efficiently handle very large datasets that have become the norm for data analytics in the past … Read more
This paper analyzes the effects of storage facilities on optimal zonal pricing in competitive electricity markets. In particular, we propose a zonal pricing model that comprises consumers, producers, and storage facilities on a network with constrained transmission capacities. In its two limit cases, our zonal pricing model includes the reference nodal pricing model as well … Read more
This paper provides a new multi-objective integer programming model for the daily scheduling of nurses in operating suites. The model is designed to assign nurses to di erent surgery cases based on their specialties and competency levels, subject to a series of hard and soft constraints related to nurse satisfaction, idle time, overtime, and job changes … Read more
