 Welcome
to Dynamic Facilities Layout and Simulation Modeling Lab
|
| Our laboratory conducts research in the following
areas |
- topological network design
- facility layout and location
- stochastic network design and analysis
- Steiner minimal Trees in 3-dimensions
- state dependent queueing network analysis and finite buffer queueing
network models

|
One of more recent research interest,
is the modelling of proteins and other biochemical structures
with Combinatorial Optimization as well as Computational
Geometry concepts and algorithms.
One of the unique modelling tools developed in our research
is concerned with dynamic traffic flow models using queueing
theory and queueing networks.We couple our modeling approach
with geographic information systems (GIS) to design regional
evacuation models. |
| Real world applications of our research include |
|
| the design and layout of manufacturing plants, health care facilities, and many other production and service
oriented systems
analysis of routing in large transportation networks
modeling and evaluation of building and vehicular evacuation in case of emergencies |
|
The laboratory
has carried out many and varied projects for manufacturing
and service industries in and around Massachusetts |
