Some of the most successful algorithms for satisfiability, such as Walksat, are based on random walks. Similarly, local search algorithms for solving constraint optimization proble...
In this paper we argue that maximum expected utility is a suitable framework for modeling a broad range of decision problems arising in pattern recognition and related fields. Exa...
We consider a call center with two classes of impatient customers: premium and regular classes. Modeling our call center as a multiclass GI/GI/s + M queue, we focus on developing ...
Abstract-- We consider a wireless system with a small number of delay constrained users and a larger number of users without delay constraints. We develop a scheduling algorithm th...
The advent of second-generation intelligent computer tutors raises an important instructional design question: when should tutorial advice be presented in problem solving? This pa...
