B. OTHER TEACHING ACTIVITIES
Curriculum
development
1. ISYE
8900 – Graduate Seminar in
Combinatorial Auctions: This course is co-developed by P. Keskinocak, O.
Ergun, and J. Sokol in 2002 with the goals of exploring the new and
exciting area of combinatorial auctions and improving the presentation
skills of the participants. Focusing on advanced and up-to-date topics of
interest to Ph.D. students, the course exposes students to subjects that
might otherwise not be covered in their courses, and helps them acquire
expertise in certain areas of combinatorial auctions. It challenges the
students to dispute and deal with advanced material, typically based on
original literature from the forefront of current research, and helps them
develop and strengthen their skills of reading and understanding original
scientific articles.
2. ISYE
6230 – Economic Decision
Analysis: This course focuses on the interactions between multiple
players (decision makers), such as suppliers, manufacturers, retailers,
consumers, etc., and the resulting dynamics in a market environment. In
particular, it focuses on the strategic behavior of the players in the
market, the impact of the market (or contract) structure on the
participants' actions and the overall market dynamics. P. Keskinocak taught
the course in Spring 2003 and 2004 (both video taped for distance
learning), by partly redesigning and adding new content to it. She also
developed an extensive set of lecture notes and presentation slides. This
course is now included in the required course list of the Economic Decision
Analysis track.
3. ISYE 8813
– Public Applications of OR/MS:
This course focuses
on the applications of Operations Research/Management Science (OR/MS) with
public impact, in particular, in non-profit organizations. Course topics
include humanitarian logistics, pre-positioning (preparedness) for
humanitarian response, immunization scheduling, vaccine procurement,
preparedness (food and vaccination plan) for pandemic response, and
infection control at hospitals. Students participating in this course
worked on real-world projects with non-profit organizations.
4. ISYE 8803
– Health and Humanitarian
Applications of OR/MS: Similar to ISYE8813, this course focuses on the applications of
OR/MS with health and humanitarian impact. Course topics include patient
flow optimization, evaluating the cost effectiveness of methane from
landfills as a source of renewable energy, modeling the spread of measles
and evaluating the effectiveness of different vaccination strategies, and
prepositioning supplies for emergency response. Students participating in
this course worked on real-world projects with government or non-profit
organizations including CDC, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Magee
Women’s Hospital, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, and Heart
to Heart International.
Teaching materials
1.
P. Keskinocak and S. Tayur,
“Managing Operations in the Time-shared Jet Business,” teaching
case. (This case was the
winner of the 2000 INFORMS Best Teaching Case Award).
Among important
decisions for time-shared jet companies are 1) deciding on the size and the
mix of the fleet and the crew, and 2) routing/scheduling of the jets to
meet the service requirements while minimizing costs. This case focuses on
the day-to-day operational activity of routing/scheduling and briefly
touches upon the strategic decisions on fleet and crew size and mix. It has
been successfully used at several universities in graduate and
undergraduate courses in computer science, industrial engineering and
business administration, including CS 635-Tools and Environments for
Optimization (Fall 1998, Fall 2002, University of Wisconsin-Madison), Modeling
for Management Science Applications
(Summer 1998, 1999, Carnegie Mellon University), 45-865 Sequencing and Scheduling (Spring
2000, Carnegie Mellon
University), 46-766 Supply Chain Management
(Fall 1999, Carnegie Mellon University), MGTSC 467 Analytical
Techniques for Management Consulting (Fall 2003, University of Alberta,
Canada) and ISYE
4231-Engineering Optimization (Spring 2001, Georgia Institute of
Technology).
2.
W. Elmaghraby and P. Keskinocak, “Technology for Transportation
Bidding at the Home Depot,” teaching case. (This case was a finalist
for the 2002 INFORMS Best Teaching Case Award)
This case is based on
The Home Depot's Internet-based application of combinatorial bidding in
selecting carriers for its transportation needs. It discusses bidding and
bid selection issues, and the challenges faced in implementing a mechanism
that addresses various technological issues and the need for educating the
bidders. The case has been used in several classes at a number of
universities, including ISYE 8800-The Economics of E-Commerce (Fall 2000,
Georgia Tech), ISYE 6230-Economic Decision Analysis (Fall 2001, Georgia
Tech), E-Commerce (Fall 2000) and Information Technology (Spring 2001) in
Georgia Tech’s Executive Masters for International Logistics (EMIL)
program, OIM 640-Transportation and Business Logistics (Spring 2002,
University of Wisconsin-Madison), MGMT
298D: E-Business and Supply Chains (Fall 2000, University of California-Los
Angeles).
3.
F.
Erhun and P. Keskinocak, “Game Theory in Business
Applications,” lecture notes.
With an emphasis on the applications of game-theoretic concepts in
practice, these lecture notes discuss the difference between game theory
and decision analysis, provide the basic building blocks of a game,
followed by static and dynamic games of complete information, discuss the
application of complete information
games to general market settings and supply chains, games of incomplete
information and their applications within the principal-agent framework.
The notes have been used in MS&E
365-Game Theoretic Models in Operations Management (Fall 2003, Stanford University) and ISYE 6230-Economic
Decision Analysis (Spring 2004, Georgia Tech).

Drake, O. Ergun, G. Karakus, P. Kerl, P. Keskinocak, J. Swann, M.
Villarreal, “Humanitarian Response Planning at the Home Depot,”
teaching case (in progress).
5. O.
Ergun, J. Heier, P. Keskinocak, J. Swann, “Planning for Hurricanes at
Waffle House,” teaching case (in progress).
6. P.
Keskinocak, S. Xia, “Interactive Supply Chain Game,” classroom game
(in progress). The primary goal of this game is to investigate the
interplay between the supplier’s inventory allocation mechanism and
the customers’ demand forecast and orders, i.e., to determine how
customers revise their forecasts and orders in response to the
supplier’s allocation mechanism.
7. O.
Ergun, G. Karakus, P. Keskinocak, J. Swann, M. Villarreal. “Big Depot
Hurricane Planning,” classroom game (in progress). This game provides
a synthesis between contracting and allocating inventory under demand
uncertainty. It has a table-top structure, starting with general
information about the supply chain setting, conditions and operations;
then, every step begins with some data and information that should be used
to make decisions about expected issues in the exercises. Players assume
roles, which may well affect their incentives and priorities, and therefore
the decisions they make.
