Computer network for computationally intense applied research in the centre for operations excellence

所寻求的设备将用于支持UBC Sauder商学院卓越运营中心（COE）的计算密集型应用研究。在COE中，研究生，研究人员和教师与广泛的公共和私营部门赞助商合作开展应用研究。研究项目重点关注医疗保健、电信、制造业、纸浆和造纸行业、运输物流、机场运营、工人赔偿委员会和其他行业的调度、风险分析、库存管理、系统设计和优化等问题。应用的方法包括线性规划、模拟、回归分析、建模、动态优化和组合优化。

The equipment sought will be used to support computationally intensive applied research in the Centre for Operations Excellence (COE) in the Sauder School of Business at UBC. In the COE, graduate students, researchers and faculty carry out applied research in collaboration with a wide range of public and private sector sponsors. Research projects focus on problems in scheduling, risk analysis, inventory management, system design and optimization in healthcare, telecommunications, manufacturing, the pulp and paper industry, transportation logistics, airport operations, workers compensation boards and other industries. Methodologies applied include linear programming, simulation, regression analysis, queueing models and dynamic optimization and combinatorial optimization.
