In this paper, we address both standard and focused retrieval tasks based on comprehensible language models and interactive query expansion (IQE). Query topics are expanded using a...
To improve the process of user information retrieval, we propose the concept of a latent semantic map (LSM), along with a method of generating this map. The novel aspect of the LS...
This research examines the performance of CONWIP versus "push" workload control in a simple, balanced manufacturing flowline. Analytical models and simulation experiment...
In previous work we presented an algorithm for cloning parallel simulations that enables multiple simulated execution paths to be explored simultaneously. The method is targeted f...
In this paper, we consider semiconductor manufacturing processes that can be characterized by a diverse product mix, heterogeneous parallel machines, sequence-dependent setup time...
