Book Description
Big Data has flown into every sector of the global economy ranging from social networks to online business to finance to medicine. With the rapid growth of data in many applications in the society, operations research (OR) professionals must shift to a broader view of developing analytical solutions characterized by the integrated use of data, processes and systems. Classical stochastic modeling, although proved to be useful in many traditional application areas (e.g. call centers, manufacturing systems), few works have been done in new applications arising from big data. Existing methods are lack of integration between data and modeling, recent development in adaptive control fails to address these new applications. In this dissertation, we aim to fill these gaps by developing new stochastic modeling, optimization and data-driven adaptive control approaches for managerial problems such as the resource provisioning of cloud computing and password management in cyber security systems.
