Stochastic models for unit-load operations in warehouse systems with autonomous vehicles
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2015)This paper presents stochastic models for multi-tier warehouse systems that handle unit load transactions using autonomous vehicle-based technology. In this system, self-powered autonomous vehicles carry out unit-load ... -
Queuing models to analyze dwell-point and cross-aisle location in autonomous vehicle-based warehouse systems
(Elsevier, 2015)Technological innovations in warehouse automation systems, such as Autonomous Vehicle based Storage and Retrieval System (AVS/RS), are geared towards achieving greater operational efficiency and flexibility that would be ... -
A non-linear traffic flow-based queuing model to estimate container terminal throughput with AGVs
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)Efficient handling of containers at a terminal can reduce the overall vessel sojourn times and minimise operational costs. The internal transport of containers in these terminals is performed by vehicles that share a common ... -
Semi-open queuing networks: a review of stochastic models, solution methods and new research areas

Enabling off-the-grid telephony: an adaptive probabilistic model for broadcasting in ad-hoc mobile phone networks
(Elsevier, 2014)Ad-hoc peer-to-peer mobile phone networks (phone-MANETs) can enable village level telephony for cash-strapped, off-the-grid communities in developing regions. Broadcasting is a fundamental operation in such MANETs (Mobile ... -
On posterior concentration in misspecified models
(International Society for Bayesian Analysis, 2015)We investigate the asymptotic behavior of Bayesian posterior distributions under independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.i.i.d.) misspecified models. More specifically, we study the concentration of the posterior ... -
