Examination Timetabling With Mathematical Programming An Application In Turkish Air Force Academy, Emrah Koksalmis
Examination Timetabling With Mathematical Programming An Application In Turkish Air Force Academy, Emrah Koksalmis
Engineering Management & Systems Engineering Theses & Dissertations
The focus of this thesis is the educational timetabling problem, which is a very challenging problem to solve especially with a high number of the departments, branches, classes, and students. Due to the large scale of educational timetabling problems and preferences of the stakeholders, it is almost impossible to form a general model that solves all of the timetabling problems in the literature. This resulted in the need to develop and employ specific models for specific institutions.
The purpose of this study is to develop a mathematical programming model that solves the examination timetabling problem in Turkish Air Force Academy …

The Role Of Feedback In The Assimilation Of Information In Prediction Markets, Richard Donald Jolly
Dissertations and Theses
Leveraging the knowledge of an organization is an ongoing challenge that has given rise to the field of knowledge management. Yet, despite spending enormous sums of organizational resources on Information Technology (IT) systems, executives recognize there is much more knowledge to harvest. Prediction markets are emerging as one tool to help extract this tacit knowledge and make it operational. Yet, prediction markets, like other markets, are subject to pathologies (e.g., bubbles and crashes) which compromise their accuracy and may discourage organizational use.
The techniques of experimental economics were used to study the characteristics of prediction markets. Empirical data was gathered …
