4 - The Spread Versus the Chromatic Number of a Graph<br />
Lima Leonardo, Professor, CEFET-RJ, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil,<br />
leolima.geos@gmail.com, Nair Abreu, Aroldo Oliveira<br />
Let G be a connected graph with n vertices. The spread of G is the spread of its<br />
adjacency matrix A(G) and it is defined as the difference between the largest and<br />
the smallest eigenvalues of A(G). The chromatic number, a known graph invariant,<br />
is the minimum number of colors needed to color the vertices of a graph such that<br />
no two adjacent vertices have the same color. For several classes of graphs, we<br />
prove that the chromatic number is a lower bound to the spread.<br />

In this talk we present the NLP-solver ‘LRAMBO’ and the underlying theory that is<br />
based on a total quasi-Newton method exploiting the benefits of Algorithmic<br />
Differentiation. A highly efficient step computation is guaranteed by an<br />
approximation of the active constraint Jacobian and a hot-start for the factorized<br />
KKT-system in terms of low-rank updating. For large scale optimization we propose<br />
a limited memory implementation with compact storage for the approximating<br />
Hessian.<br />
2 - Optimization Tools in MATLAB<br />

We describe optimization functions that extend the MATLAB technical computing<br />
environment. These functions address a number of common optimization problems<br />
such as nonlinear, linear, quadratic, single- and multi-objective. Methods<br />
implemented in these functions are varied and include gradient-based, derivativefree,<br />
deterministic, and non-deterministic algorithms. We overview these functions<br />
and other features such as parallel computing, MATLAB compiler, and a graphical<br />
user interface.<br />

Box-constrained minimization is a dynamic area of practical optimization. In this<br />
work, a comparison between some classical and recently developed methods is<br />
presented. The comparison includes ASA (W. Hager and H. Zhang, A New Active<br />
Set Algorithm for Box Constrained Optimization, SIOPT 17, 526-557, 2006) and<br />
GENCAN (E.G. Birgin and J.M. Martínez, “Large-scale active-set box-constrained<br />
optimization method with spectral projected gradientsCOAP 23, 101-125, 2002),<br />
among others.<br />

We developed a simulation model for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The parameters of<br />
the model are the coefficients of a function that relates a ranking of the participants<br />
with the probability of different results of each game. The optimization process<br />
consists of fitting these parameters with respect to overall beliefs of the user. Given<br />
the best fit one can deduce probabilistic information that should be compatible with<br />
the user prognostics.<br />

1 - Bayesian Dynamic Models in Supply Chain Forecasting<br />
Victor Aguirre, Professor, ITAM, Rio Hondo # 1, Mexico, DF, 01080,<br />
Mexico, aguirre@itam.mx, Gabriel Cervantes<br />
Supply chain management depends heavily in the timely generation of forecasts<br />
that take into account information provided by different actors of the chain.<br />
Bayesian models provides great flexibility to incorporate prior information on the<br />
generation of forecasts. In particular we explore the approach of some Dynamic<br />
Linear Models to forecast sales series. Comparison of these procedures with other<br />
commonly used methods of forecasting shows a strong superiority of the Bayesian<br />
approach.<br />

Since the big bang of RFID, the attention has primarily been given to the retail<br />
supply chain and focused on improving performance. Yet, little attention has been<br />
given to how RFID impacts service operations. We study the RFID applications used<br />
to enhance service operations focusing on the service delivery system. We report on<br />
field studies of RFID initiatives at five different service firms and examined<br />
practitioner case studies of RFID deployments.<br />

The integration of information systems in supply chains is a problem that is still far<br />
from solved because the selection complexity of a combination of technologies to<br />
support the chain performance. This paper proposes an approach for a decision<br />
support model, based on compensatory fuzzy logic, to facilitate the selection of<br />
technologies to be used for integrating the information systems in a supply chain.<br />
4 - A Game-theoretic Analysis on Social Responsibility Conduct in<br />
Two-echelon Supply Chains<br />

This article investigates how supply chain members interact with each other with<br />
respect to corporate social responsibility (CSR) behavior and what are the impacts of<br />
exogenous factors on this interaction. This research puts the interaction between the<br />
supply chain partners in the context of strategic games. A game-theoretic analysis is<br />
conducted and equilibriums are expected to be obtained for both sequential-move<br />
and simultaneous-move game settings.<br />

Its presents the mathematical modeling for supply chain of oil and fat industry,<br />
minimizing logistics distribution costs of final products. This model includes<br />
distribution centers and local sales. The costs involved are transportation, inventory<br />
and administration. The restrictions are: capacity of distribution centers and<br />
transportations, demand satisfaction and balance equations.
