Book Chapter
Parkes, A. J., Beglou, N., & Ozcan, E. (2019). Learning the Quality of Dispatch Heuristics Generated by Automated Programming. In Learning and Intelligent Optimization (154-158). Springer Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-05348-2_13

One of the challenges within the area of optimisation, and AI in general, is to be able to support the automated creation of the heuristics that are often needed within effective algorithms. Such an example of automated programming may be performed b... Read More about Learning the Quality of Dispatch Heuristics Generated by Automated Programming.

This study investigates the level of service quality of domestic airlines in Turkey travelling between Istanbul and London and compares those airline companies according to a set of predetermined criteria. A practical multi-criteria decision making a... Read More about Interval type-2 hesitant fuzzy set method for improving the service quality of domestic airlines in Turkey.

Proposal of a design pattern for embedding the concept of social forces in human centric simulation models (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Siebers, P.-O., Deng, Y., Thaler, J., Schnädelbach, H., & Özcan, E. (2018). Proposal of a design pattern for embedding the concept of social forces in human centric simulation models. In A. Anagnostou, M. Fakhimi, R. Meskarian, & D. Robertson (Eds.), Proceedings of the Operational Research Society Simulation Workshop 2018 (SW18) (88-97)

There exist many papers that explain the social force model and its application for modelling pedestrian dynamics. None of these papers, however, explains how to implement the social force model in order to use it for systems simulation studies. In t...

To kit or not to kit: analysing the value of model-based kitting for additive manufacturing (2018)
Journal Article
Khajavi, S. H., Baumers, M., Holmström, J., Özcan, E., Atkin, J., Jackson, W. G., & Li, W. (2018). To kit or not to kit: analysing the value of model-based kitting for additive manufacturing. Computers in Industry, 98, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compind.2018.01.022

The use of additive manufacturing (AM) for the production of functional parts is increasing. Thus, AM based practices that can reduce supply chain costs gain in importance. We take a forward-looking approach and study how AM can be used more effectiv... Read More about To kit or not to kit: analysing the value of model-based kitting for additive manufacturing.
