Abstract: Various embodiments of a system and method for generating predictions for unit allocation in a materials processing network are described. Various embodiments may include a capacity planner for defining a model including, for each of a plurality of discrete periods of time, a corresponding representation of a materials processing network including materials handling facilities, constraints associated with ones of the materials handling facilities, and logic for determining efficient flows of materials within the materials processing network during that discrete period of time.

Abstract: The present invention can provide a market analysis system which includes a computer processor, a computer readable storage medium, a database stored on the computer readable storage medium including a set of transaction data and a software program stored on the computer readable storage medium. The software program can be executable by the computer processor to receive a transaction from an electronic exchange, store the transaction in the database as an addition to the set of transaction data, define a standard pricing group from the set of transaction data, and apply a statistical analysis to the standard pricing group.

Abstract: A generic revenue management data model is provided for expressing revenue management problems. The generic revenue management data model includes a first data structure containing a representation of a set of network demands, a second data structure containing a representation of a set of network resources, a third data structure containing a representation of a set of resource bundles and a fourth data structure containing a representation of a set of resource bundle to demand links. The generic revenue management data model can also include a fifth data structure containing a representation of a set of resource demands.
