Group elevator scheduling is an NP-hard sequential decision-making problem with unbounded state spaces and substantial uncertainty. Decision-theoretic reasoning plays a surprising...
Creating comprehensive simulation models can be expensive and time consuming. This paper discusses our efforts to develop a general methodology that will allow users to quickly an...
Let A be a set of size m. Obtaining the first k m elements of A in ascending order can be done in optimal O(m + k log k) time. We present Incremental Quicksort (IQS), an algorith...
This paper proposes a theoretical framework for predicting financial distress based on Hunt’s (2000) Resource-Advantage Theory of Competition. The study focuses on the US retail...
Stream applications gained significant popularity over the last years that lead to the development of specialized stream engines. These systems are designed from scratch with a di...
