Simulation And Optimization Of A New Multi-Channel Contact Center System, Junxiang Li, Lichao Li, Kun Ma
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: In the actual operation of a contact center, it often encounters a large number of calls caused by an emergency. A traditional call center with a simple first-come-first-served queuing rule can hardly handle the rapid increase of calls properly. In this regard, without changing the number of seats, the call-back service channel for evacuating tasks and the special service channel for ensuring the service level are added. Considering customer abandonment, a new multi-channel queuing model for a contact center is built. This model is simulated by FlexSim software, and the results are comparatively analyzed. It is found that …

Lod Modeling Method For Three-Dimensional Objects With Energy Operator, Yongzhi Wang, Zhenchao Li, Pengyu Liu, Hui Wang
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: Current level of detail (LOD) modeling methods do not combine simplification and subdivision, which results in models not being rich in detail level. Therefore, the energy operator was used to combine the simplification algorithm of a three-dimensional (3D) object model with the subdivision algorithm, and a LOD modeling method based on an energy operator was proposed for 3D objects. The method involves three major steps: calculation of energy operators for 3D models, model simplification and model subdivision based on an energy operator. Experiments show that this method can generate models with rich levels of detail and has good visualization …

Research On Decision-Making Of Closed-Loop Supply Chain For Dual-Channel Recovery Based On Game Theory, Ying Xu, Qinming Liu, Linsen Zhou
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: To tackle the difficulties and resource depletion in current packaging recycling, this paper constructs a centralized decision-making game model and three Stackelberg game models. Specifically, these Stackelberg game models are developed depending on the differences in the game power of participants in the closed-loop supply chain for dual-channel recovery, respectively corresponding to the cases where the manufacturer, the distributor or the third-party recycler is dominant. The optimal solutions of the four models are compared and analyzed. The benefits of decentralized decision-making do not reach the Pareto optimality as compared with centralized decision-making.

Driven by the big data science, material informatics has attracted enormous research interests recently along with many recognized achievements. To acquire knowledge of materials by previous experience, both feature descriptors and databases are essential for training machine learning (ML) models with high accuracy. In this regard, the electronic charge density ρ(r), which in principle determines the properties of materials at their ground state, can be considered as one of the most appropriate descriptors. However, the systematic electronic charge density ρ(r) database of inorganic materials is still in its infancy due to the difficulties in …

A Precise Dispenser Design For Canine Cognition Research, Walker Arce, Jeffrey R. Stevens
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering: Faculty Publications
Some forms of canine cognition research require a dispenser that can accurately dispense precise quantities of treats. When using off-the-shelf or retrofitted dispensers, there is no guarantee that a precise number of treats will be dispensed. Often, they will over-dispense treats, which may not be acceptable for some tasks. Here we describe a 3D-printed precise treat dispenser with a 59-treat capacity driven by a stepper motor drive and controlled by an integrated Raspberry Pi. The dispenser can be built for less than 200 USD and is fully 3D printable. While off-the-shelf dispensers can result in an error rate of 20–30%, …
