The system dynamics approach is a holistic way of solving problems in realtime scenarios. This is a powerful methodology and computer simulation modeling technique for framing, analyzing, and discussing complex issues and problems. System dynamics modeling and simulation is often the background of a systemic thinking approach and has become a management and organizational development paradigm. In this paper, we present our experiences and thoughts on developing system thinking models to understand the important factors such as Facilities (includes infrastructure), Local and national political stability, Family migration from rural to urban localities, and socio-economic status of the families on the quality of primary education system in developing nations. This paper provides a high level view on the factors which need to be addressed for providing sustainable education experience to children living in developing nations. In this presentation, we discuss the situations in India, making an application of our method on data from the state of Gujarat, in Turkey and in Indonesia.

Implicit monolithic parallel solution algorithm for seismic analysis of dam-reservoir systems
Özmen, Semih; Kurç, Özgür; Department of Civil Engineering (2016)
This research mainly focuses on developing a computationally scalable and efficient solution algorithm that can handle linear dynamic analysis of dam-reservoir interaction problem. Lagrangian fluid finite elements are utilized and compressibility and viscosity of the fluid are taken into consideration during the reservoir modeling. In order to provide computational scalability and efficiency, domain decomposition methods implemented with parallel computing approaches such as Finite Element Tearing and Inter...
Exact decomposition algorithms for nonlinear location and hub location problems
Gündoğdu, Emine; Gürel, Sinan; Department of Industrial Engineering (2018)
Developing exact solution algorithms to solve difficult optimization problems is one of the most important subjects in the operations research literature. In this dissertation, we develop Benders decomposition based exact solution algorithms (BDTAs) for handling nonlinearity in three selected nonlinear integer location/hub location problems. The first and second problem include nonlinear capacity constraints, while in the last problem, both objective function and the capacity constraints are nonlinear. In o...
Efficient parallelization of multilevel fast multipole algorithm
Ergül, Özgür Salih (null; 2006-11-10)
We report our efforts for the solution of large electromagnetics problems accurately and efficiently with the parallel multilevel fast multipole algorithm. We carefully investigate different stages of the parallelization and identify the bottlenecks to develop new strategies. The required modifications are implemented in order to increase the efficiency of the solutions of scattering problems involving various geometries.
