1. Models and Complexity Results in Real-Time Scheduling Theory
Abstract : When designing real-time systems, we want to prove that they will satisfy given timing constraints at run time. The main objective of real-time scheduling theory is to analyze properties of mathematical models that capture the temporal behaviors of such systems. READ MORE

2. Radiation Therapy Patient Scheduling: An Operations Research Approach
Abstract : The manual scheduling of patients for radiation therapy is difficult and labor-intensive. With the increase in cancer patient numbers, efficient resource planning is an important tool to achieve short waiting times and equal right to care. This thesis studies an operations research approach to the radiation therapy scheduling problem. READ MORE

4. Resource Allocation under Uncertainty : Applications in Mobile Communications
Abstract : This thesis is concerned with scheduling the use of resources, or allocating resources, so as to meet future demands for the entities produced by the resources. We consider applications in mobile communications such as scheduling users' transmissions so that the amount of transmitted information is maximized, and scenarios in the manufacturing industry where the task is to distribute work among production units so as to minimize the number of missed orders.

5. Methods and Applications in Integer Programming : All-Integer Column Generation and Nurse Scheduling
Abstract : Integer programming can be used to provide solutionsto complex decision and planning problems occurring in a wide varietyof situations. Applying integer programming to a real life problembasically involves a first phase where a mathematical model isconstructed, and a second phase where the problem described by themodel is solved.
