Title: William Douglas Philpot and John F. Abel discuss the history of CEE Authors: Abel, John F.; Philpot, William Douglas Abstract: Prof. Philpot describes his (circuitous) path to research in remote sensing and to joining the faculty in remote sensing in CEE. The discussion turns to the range of research that existed prior to Philpot’s arrival, primarily photogrammetry and airphoto interpretation as applied to a variety of engineering activities along with reminiscences of individual faculty: Don Belcher, Ta Liang and Warren Philipson. The interview closes with a general description of some of Philpot’s research activities. Description: This video is a contribution to the CEE Oral History Project at Cornell University.

Title: Stock Optimization in Emergency Resupply Networks under Stuttering Poisson Demand Authors: Chen, J; Jackson, P.L.; Muckstadt, J Abstract: We consider a network in which field stocking locations (FSLs) manage multiple parts according to an (S-1,S) policy. Demand processes for the parts are assumed to be independent stuttering Poisson processes. Regular replenishments to an FSL occur from a regional stocking location (RSL) that has an unlimited supply of each part type. Demand in excess of supply at an FSL is routed to an emergency stocking location (ESL), which also employs an (S-1,S) policy to manage its inventory. Demand in excess of supply at the ESL is backordered. Lead time from the ESL to each FSL is assumed to be negligible compared to the RSL-ESL resupply time. In companion papers we have shown how to approximate the joint probability distributions of units on hand, units in regular resupply, and units in emergency resupply. In this paper, we focus on the problem of determining the stock levels at the FSLs and ESL across all part numbers that minimize backorder, and emergency resupply costs subject to an inventory investment budget constraint. The problem is shown to be a nonconvex integer programming problem, and we explore a collection of heuristics for solving the optimization problem.

Title: Calculation of ruin probabilities for a dense class of heavy tailed distributions Authors: Bladt, Mogens; Nielsen, Bo Friis; Samorodnitsky, Gennady Abstract: In this paper we propose a class of infinite--dimensional phase--type distributions with finitely many parameters as models for heavy tailed distributions. The class of finite--dimensional distributions is dense in the class of distributions on the positive reals and may hence approximate any such distribution. We prove that formulas from renewal theory, and with a particular attention to ruin probabilities, which are true for common phase--type distributions also hold true for the infinite--dimensional case. We provide algorithms for calculating functionals of interest such as the renewal density and the ruin probability. It might be of interest to approximate a given heavy--tailed distribution of some other type by a distribution from the class of infinite--dimensional phase--type distributions and to this end we provide a calibration procedure which works for the approximation of distributions with a slowly varying tail. An example from risk theory, comparing ruin probabilities for a classical risk process with Pareto distributed claim sizes, is presented and exact known ruin probabilities for the Pareto case are compared to the ones obtained by approximating by an infinite--dimensional hyper--exponential distribution.
