Shubham Sah
Completed Final Round of DHL Discover Logistics Competition
Shubham Sah returned from Germany
after completing the final round of DHL’s Discover Logistics Competition. The completion was launched in April 2008 by
Deutsche Post World Net (DPWN), the world’s leading logistics services
provider. The completion had three
rounds. The first round started with a pool of over 8,500 participants from 120
different countries. The participants managed and developed a small logistics
company into a national champion through an on-line game. The top five hundred
participants were then grouped into 100 teams of 5 players to enter the second
round of competition. The teams competed in three different areas of logistics
services, namely forwarding, express, and supply chain services. Finally, after a rigorous five months of “online
gaming,” the top ten teams were invited to DPWN's headquarters in Germany
for the final round of competition.

February 15, 2006
Kai Hu Passed M.S. Thesis Defense
Kai Hu successfully defended his thesis titled
"Solving Inverse Problems Using Particle Swarm Optimization: An Application
to Aircraft Fuel Measurement Considering Sensor Failure." The study
of inverse problems is to infer causes that are not directly measurable from
some defined observable parameters. Kai developed a robust inverse
problem modeling method which uses neural networks to approximate nonlinear
physical laws and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to explore the cause
space. The application of PSO enables this method to be more tolerant to
missing data and less susceptible to local minimum than other methods.
The superiority of this method is proved by its application to an aircraft fuel
measurement case study with sensor failures. The thesis committee members
are Drs. Sam Huang, Sam Anand, and Ernie Hall.

ICAMS Lab Renamed Intelligent Systems Laboratory
The Intelligent Computer-Aided Manufacturing Systems (ICAMS) laboratory was
established in September 1998 to develop intelligent systems with a focus on
manufacturing applications. Over the past few years, we found increased
applications of intelligent systems outside the manufacturing arena. Our
philosophy in building intelligent systems is to combine human wisdom with
machine power. Such an approach has found increased applications in
healthcare and financial service. Therefore, we have renamed the ICAMS
lab the Intelligent Systems Laboratory. Knowledge-based modeling
remains the core technology of the lab. All computer-aided manufacturing
applications are now combined into a research thrust termed supplier-based
manufacturing. Previous works on equipment health monitoring and
diagnostic productivity improvement are combined to form a new research thrust
termed system monitoring, diagnosis, and prognosis. Techniques
developed under this thrust area can be applied to both manufacturing and
service problems. Some initiatives in service applications include
evidence-based patient care, pharmacy operation efficiency improvement, and
early detection of adverse drug reaction.
