Following from part I, which presents a retrospective on optimization, we focus here on areas that are recent active research topics and are likely to strongly influence the futur...
We introduce a parallelized version of tree-decomposition based dynamic programming for solving difficult weighted CSP instances on many cores. A tree decomposition organizes cost ...
This paper presents a new approach to shaping of the frequency response of the sensitivity function. In this approach, a desired frequency response is assumed to be specified at a...
Optimal solutions to Markov Decision Problems (MDPs) are very sensitive with respect to the state transition probabilities. In many practical problems, the estimation of those pro...
We introduce a distribution center (DC) location model that incorporates working inventory and safety stock inventory costs at the distribution centers. In addition, the model inco...
