Rationing is an inventory policy that allows prioritization of demand classes. It enables the inventory system to provide higher service levels for critical demand classes. In thi...
Path coupling is a useful technique for simplifying the analysis of a coupling of a Markov chain. Rather than defining and analysing the coupling on every pair in Ω×Ω, where...
Mixed multi-unit combinatorial auctions (MMUCAs) offer a high potential to be employed for the automated assembly of supply chains of agents. However, in order for mixed auctions ...
This paper presents an evolutionary music software system that generates complex rhythmic polyphony in performance. A population of rhythms is derived from analysis of source mater...
Performance evaluation of complex systems is a critical issue and bounds computation provides confidence about service quality, reliability, etc. of such systems. The stochastic ...
