M Lu, ZJM Shen - Production and Operations Management, 2021 - journals.sagepub.com
Over the past two decades, there has been explosive growth in the application of robust
optimization in operations management (robust OM), fueled by both significant advances in …

Operating room planning and scheduling for outpatients and inpatients: A review and future research

L Wang, E Demeulemeester, N Vansteenkiste… - Operations Research for …, 2021 - Elsevier
In hospitals, surgeries are treated either on an outpatient or on an inpatient basis.

Ambiguous chance-constrained binary programs under mean-covariance information

Y Zhang, R Jiang, S Shen - SIAM Journal on Optimization, 2018 - SIAM
We consider chance-constrained binary programs, where each row of the inequalities that
involve uncertainty needs to be satisfied probabilistically. Only the information of the mean …

Integer programming approaches for appointment scheduling with random no-shows and service durations

R Jiang, S Shen, Y Zhang - Operations Research, 2017 - pubsonline.informs.org
We consider a single-server scheduling problem given a fixed sequence of appointment
arrivals with random no-shows and service durations. The probability distribution of the …

Chance-constrained optimization under limited distributional information: A review of reformulations based on sampling and distributional robustness

S Küçükyavuz, R Jiang - EURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2022 - Elsevier
Chance-constrained programming (CCP) is one of the most difficult classes of optimization
problems that has attracted the attention of researchers since the 1950s. In this survey, we …

Logic-based benders decomposition and binary decision diagram based approaches for stochastic distributed operating room scheduling

C Guo, M Bodur, DM Aleman… - INFORMS Journal on …, 2021 - pubsonline.informs.org
The distributed operating room (OR) scheduling problem aims to find an assignment of
surgeries to ORs across collaborating hospitals that share their waiting lists and ORs. We …

Solving 0–1 semidefinite programs for distributionally robust allocation of surgery blocks

Y Zhang, S Shen, SA Erdogan - Optimization Letters, 2018 - Springer
We allocate surgery blocks to operating rooms (ORs) under random surgery durations.
Given unknown distribution of the duration of each block, we investigate distributionally …

Overcommitment in cloud services: Bin packing with chance constraints

MC Cohen, PW Keller, V Mirrokni… - Management …, 2019 - pubsonline.informs.org
This paper considers a traditional problem of resource allocation: scheduling jobs on
machines. One such recent application is cloud computing; jobs arrive in an online fashion …

Distributionally robust appointment scheduling with moment-based ambiguity set

Y Zhang, S Shen, SA Erdogan - Operations Research Letters, 2017 - Elsevier
We study appointment scheduling under random service duration with unknown
distributions. Given a sequence of appointments arriving at a single server, we assign their …

Current trends in operating room scheduling 2015 to 2020: a literature review

S Harris, D Claudio - Operations Research Forum, 2022 - Springer
