A New Approach to Survivability of Connection Oriented Networks
Issues of network reliability are very important in modern computer networks. Even a short failure of a network link can cause substantial consequences. In this paper we concentrat...

Stochastic Shortest Paths Via Quasi-convex Maximization
Abstract. We consider the problem of finding shortest paths in a graph with independent randomly distributed edge lengths. Our goal is to maximize the probability that the path len...

Aggregation-based model reduction of a Hidden Markov Model
This paper is concerned with developing an information-theoretic framework to aggregate the state space of a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) on discrete state and observation spaces. The...

ASAGA: an adaptive surrogate-assisted genetic algorithm
Genetic algorithms (GAs) used in complex optimization domains usually need to perform a large number of fitness function evaluations in order to get near-optimal solutions. In rea...
