— In this paper, we propose a distributed stochastic algorithm for power and rate allocation in ad hoc wireless sensor networks. The problem we deal with is formulated as a trans...
Beamforming and relaying are two methods of improving wireless system performance. Until now, these techniques have been considered separately. In this paper, a single source (base...
The Cross-Entropy (CE) method is a modern and effective optimization method well suited to parallel implementations. There is a vast array of problems today, some of which are hig...

We consider the problem of selecting the best among several heavy-tailed systems using a large deviations perspective. In contrast to the light-tailed setting studied by Glynn and...
Formula One motor racing is a rich sport that spends millions on research and development of highly optimized cars. Here we describe the use of a genetic algorithm to optimize 66 s...
