Preference elicitation is a serious bottleneck in many decision support applications and agent specification tasks. CP-nets were designed to make the preference elicitation proces...
In this paper, a market-based decomposition method for decomposable linear systems is developed. The solution process iterates between a master problem that solves the market-matc...
We consider the context of decision support for schedule modification after the computation off-line of a predictive optimal (or near optimal) schedule. The purpose of this work i...
Internet companies extensively use the practice of drop-shipping, where the wholesaler stocks and owns the inventory and ships products directly to customers at retailers' re...
We present a deterministic strongly polynomial algorithm that computes the permanent of a nonnegative n × n matrix to within a multiplicative factor of en. To this end we develop...
