Data from several projects show a significant relationship between the size of a module and its defect density. Here we address implications of this observation. Does the overall ...
We study an iterative cutting-plane algorithm on an integer program, for minimizing the staffing costs of a multiskill call center subject to service-level requirements which are e...
Circuit design under process variation can be formulated mathematically as a robust optimization problem with a yield constraint. Existing methods force designers to either resort...

In this paper we consider sampling based fitted value iteration for discounted, large (possibly infinite) state space, finite action Markovian Decision Problems where only a gener...
A Bayesian belief network is a model of a joint distribution over a finite set of variables, with a DAG structure representing immediate dependencies among the variables. For each...
