摘要:We study a generalized operating room planning and scheduling (GORPS) problem at the Toronto General Hospital (TGH) in Ontario, Canada. GORPS allocates elective patients and resources (i.e., operating rooms, surgeons, anesthetists) to days, assigns resources to patients, and sequences patients in each day. We consider patients' due-date, resource eligibility, heterogeneous performances of resources, downstream unit requirements, and lag times between resources. The goal is to create a weekly s...

In contrast to the existing literature, we show that while the possibility of contagion is determined by interconnectedness of the financial network, whether a financial crisis can occur depends on the profile of the liquid assets of the banks in the system. Based on the dynamic model, we introduce a time to crisis index that allows us to predict the occurrence of a finan...
