—In this paper∗ , we devise a novel method for bottleneck analysis of UDP networks based on the concept of network utility maximization. To determine the losses on the links in...
A simulation-based optimization framework involving simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA) is presented as a means for optimally specifying parameters of intern...
E-commerce has transformed the way firms develop their pricing strategies, producing shift away from fixed pricing to dynamic pricing. In this paper, we use two different Estim...
