We present an efficient algorithm for exact calculation and minimization of expected waiting times of all passengers using a bank of elevators. The dynamics of the system are rep...
Due to military drawdowns and the need for additional transportation lift requirements, the US MARINE CORPS developed a concept wherein they had modified a commercial container sh...
Models for sequential decision making under uncertainty (e.g., Markov decision processes,or MDPs) have beenstudied in operations research for decades. The recent incorporation of ...
A methodology is presented which allows comparison between models under different modeling paradigms. Consider the following situation: Two models have been constructed to study d...
With the proliferation of the new multi-core personal computers, and the explosion of the usage of highly concurrent machine configuration, concurrent code moves from being writt...
