A preprocessing optimization applied to the cell suppression problem in statistical disclosure control (2013)
Journal Article
Staggemeier, A., Serpell, M., Smith, J., Clark, A., & Staggemeier, A. T. (2013). A preprocessing optimization applied to the cell suppression problem in statistical disclosure control. Information Sciences, 238, 22-32. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ins.2013.02.006

As organizations start to publish the data that they collect, either internally or externally, in the form of statistical tables they need to consider the protection of the confidential information held in those tables. The algorithms used to protect... Read More about A preprocessing optimization applied to the cell suppression problem in statistical disclosure control.

A priori reformulations for joint rolling-horizon scheduling of materials processing and lot-sizing problem (2013)
Journal Article
Araujo, S. A., Araujo, S. A., & Clark, A. (2013). A priori reformulations for joint rolling-horizon scheduling of materials processing and lot-sizing problem. Computers and Industrial Engineering, 65(4), 577-585. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cie.2013.04.003

In many production processes, a key material is prepared and then transformed into different final products. The lot sizing decisions concern not only the production of final products, but also that of material preparation in order to take account of...

A network transshipment model for planning humanitarian relief operations after a natural disaster (2013)
Book Chapter
Clark, A., & Culkin, B. (2013). A network transshipment model for planning humanitarian relief operations after a natural disaster. In B. Vitoriano, J. Montero, & D. Ruan (Eds.), Decision Aid Models for Disaster Management and Emergencies (233-257). Atlantis Press

Every year, natural disasters and humanitarian crises affect approximately 200 million people, requiring the quick movement of goods and people to ease the human suffering and to return the population to some sense of normality. With contributions to... Read More about A network transshipment model for planning humanitarian relief operations after a natural disaster.
