We consider the problem of revenue-optimal dynamic mechanism design in settings where agents' types evolve over time as a function of their (both public and private) experien...
In many situations, a set of hard constraints encodes the feasible configurations of some system or product over which multiple users have distinct preferences. However, making su...
Abstract. This paper evaluates the power of a new scheme that generates search heuristics mechanically. This approach was presented and evaluated rst in the context of optimization...
Deciding what to branch on at each node is a key element of search algorithms. We present four families of methods for selecting what question to branch on. They are all informati...
Group elevator scheduling has long been recognized as an important problem for building transportation efficiency, since unsatisfactory elevator service is one of the major complai...
