We study the effects of demand uncertainty on optimal decisions and the expected profit of a pricesetting newsvendor who faces either additive or multiplicative stochastic demand....
This paper describes an optimization procedure for the synthesis of complex distillation configurations. A superstructure based on the Reversible Distillation Sequence Model (RDSM...
Distributed object architectures and Java are important for building modern, scalable, web-enabled applications. This paper is focused on qualitative and quantitative comparison o...
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a metaheuristic used to solve combinatorial optimization problems. As with other metaheuristics, like evolutionary methods, ACO algorithms often sh...
This paper presents SPEX, a streamed and progressive evaluation of regular path expressions with XPath-like qualifiers against XML streams. SPEX proceeds as follows. An expression...
