High energy physics scientists analyze large amounts of data looking for interesting events when particles collide. These analyses are easily expressed using complex queries that ...
The emerging service grids bring together various distributed services to a ‘market’ for clients to request and enable the integration of services across distributed, heteroge...
Discrete-event simulation is widely used to analyse and improve the performance of manufacturing systems. The related optimization problem often includes integer design variables ...

Abstract. Approximate dynamic programming offers a new modeling and algorithmic strategy for complex problems such as rail operations. Problems in rail operations are often modeled...
Markov decision processes (MDPs) with discrete and continuous state and action components can be solved efficiently by hybrid approximate linear programming (HALP). The main idea ...
