We introduce a master–worker framework for parallel global optimization of computationally expensive functions using response surface models. In particular, we parallelize two r...
This paper studies a queuing model in which a buyer sources a good or service from an single supplier chosen from a pool of suppliers. The buyer seeks to minimize the sum of her p...
Most game programs have a large number of parameters that are crucial for their performance. While tuning these parameters by hand is rather difficult, efficient and easy to use ge...
Abstract. Consider an agent executing a plan with nondeterministic actions, in a dynamic environment, which might fail. Suppose that she is given a description of this action domai...

Many important physiological processes operate at time and space scales far beyond those accessible to atom-realistic simulations, and yet discrete stochastic rather than continuum...
