Publications Database

Welcome to the new Schulich Peer-Reviewed Publication Database!

The database is currently in beta-testing and will be updated with more features as time goes on. In the meantime, stakeholders are free to explore our faculty’s numerous works. The left-hand panel affords the ability to search by the following:

  • Faculty Member’s Name;
  • Area of Expertise;
  • Whether the Publication is Open-Access (free for public download);
  • Journal Name; and
  • Date Range.

At present, the database covers publications from 2012 to 2020, but will extend further back in the future. In addition to listing publications, the database includes two types of impact metrics: Altmetrics and Plum. The database will be updated annually with most recent publications from our faculty.

If you have any questions or input, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Abstract Complex problems are frequently overwhelmed by inconsistent performance requirements and incompatible specifications that can be difficult to identify at the time of problem formulation. Consequently, it is often beneficial to construct a set of different options that provide distinct approaches to the problem. These alternatives need to be close-to-optimal with respect to the specified objective(s), but be maximally different from each other in the solution domain. The approach for creating maximally different solution sets is referred to as modelling-to-generate-alternatives (MGA). This paper introduces a computationally efficient, population-based multicriteria MGA algorithm for generating sets of maximally different alternatives.

Abstract Stochastic optimization problems are often overwhelmed with inconsistent performance requirements and incompatible performance specifications that can be difficult to detect during problem formulation. Therefore, it can prove beneficial to create a set of dissimilar options that provide divergent perspectives to the problem. These alternatives should be near-optimal with respect to the specified objective(s), but be maximally different from each other in the decision region. The approach for creating maximally different sets of solutions is referred to as modelling-to-generate-alternatives (MGA). Simulationoptimization approaches are commonly employed to solve computationally difficult problems containing significant stochastic uncertainties. This paper provides a new, stochastic, multicriteria MGA approach that can generate sets of maximally different alternatives for any simulation-optimization method that employs a population-based algorithm.
