In this paper, we focus on mechanism design for single leader Stackelberg problems, which are a special case of hierarchical decision making problems in which a distinguished agent...
Today, a number of algorithms exist for constructing tag hierarchies from social tagging data. While these algorithms were designed with ontological goals in mind, we know very li...
This paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we formulate the proposed UMPC method for modeling nonstationary and multi-modal data. Both MPC and UPC are shown to be special ca...
Grid Workflows are emerging as practical programming models for solving large e-scientific problems on the Grid. However, it is typically assumed that the workflow components eith...
Simulation, especially discrete event simulation (DES), is used in a variety of disciplines where numerical methods are difficult or impossible to apply. One problem with this met...
