We study a new class of decentralized algorithms for discrete optimization via simulation, which is inspired by the fictitious play algorithm applied to games with identical inte...
In recent years, the size of combinatorial applications and the need to produce high-quality solutions quickly have increased steadily, providing significant challenges for optim...
In a facility with front room and back room operations, it is useful to switch workers between the rooms in order to cope with changing customer demand. Assuming stochastic custome...
Oversubscribed scheduling problems require removing or partially satisfying tasks when enough resources are not available. For a particular oversubscribed problem, Air Force Satel...

In this paper, we introduce a higher-order MRF optimization
framework. On the one hand, it is very general;
we thus use it to derive a generic optimizer that can be applied
to a...
