2 Aggregate Capacity Planning and the Kellogg Company
"... Abstract: The primary goal of this paper is to demonstrate, using the analysis of the Kellogg Planning System, that an effectively developed large-scale linear programming model implemented in a company can lead to reduced production, inventory, and distribution costs, and optimized operational and ..."

approaches are available for solving the aggregate capacity planning problem now. One of the mathematical programming techniques is linear programming. This complex mathematical algorithm is not easily understood and implemented. However, it can provide management with improved acumen to see the situation
Aggregation Capacity of Wireless Sensor Networks: Extended Network Case
"... Abstract—A critical function of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is data gathering. While, one is often only interested in collecting a relevant function of the sensor measurements at a sink node, rather than downloading all the data from all the sensors. This paper studies the capacity of computing ..."

and transporting the specific functions of sensor measurements to the sink node, called aggregation capacity, for WSNs. It focuses on random WSNs that can be classified into two types: random extended WSN and random dense WSN. All existing results about aggregation capacity are studied for dense WSNs, including
An Aggregate Capacity Model of the Pharmaceutical Research and Development Process

While both pharmaceutical sales and R&D expenses are on the rise, the latter is outpacing the former.

The task of quickly bringing novel pharmaceutical products to market at reasonable cost is daunting. While both pharmaceutical sales and R&D expenses are on the rise, the latter is outpacing the former. In order to increase top line revenues, pharmaceutical firms have been employing a range of strategies to supplement the vitality of their R&D portfolios. While these strategies have the potential to increase top line revenues, they typically increase the demand for development resources that are already in short supply. We posit that the ability to accurately estimate and intelligently allocate scarce development resources is critical to controlling the cost of bringing new pharmaceuticals to market. In this paper, we consider development and implementation of steady-state and dynamic models to estimate resource requirements for the R&D process. Simulation results for a sample R&D pipeline will be considered.
Power provisioning for a warehousesized computer,”

, it is feasible to construct systems with aggregate capacities of tens of terabits per second and that e ciently support highly dynamic data communication applications with individual channel rates of 10 Gb/s. The integrated architectures allow greater scalability and superior performance, but their viability
A Duality Model of TCP and Queue Management Algorithms
- IEEE/ACM Trans. on Networking
, 2002
"... We propose a duality model of congestion control and apply it to understand the equilibrium properties of TCP and active queue management schemes. Congestion control is the interaction of source rates with certain congestion measures at network links. The basic idea is to regard source rates as p ..."

FatVAP: Aggregating AP Backhaul Capacity to Maximize Throughput
"... Abstract – It is increasingly common that computers in residential and hotspot scenarios see multiple access points (APs). These APs often provide high speed wireless connectivity but access the Internet via independent, relatively low-speed DSL or cable modem links. Ideally, a client would simultan ..."

simultaneously use all accessible APs and obtain the sum of their backhaul bandwidth. Past work can connect to multiple APs, but can neither aggregate AP backhaul bandwidth nor can it maintain concurrent TCPs across them. This paper introduces FatVAP, an 802.11 driver that aggregates the bandwidth available
