In this paper, we discuss semidefinite relaxation techniques for computing minimal size ellipsoids that bound the solution set of a system of uncertain linear equations. The propo...
Execution plans produced by traditional query optimizers for data integration queries may yield poor performance for several reasons. The cost estimates may be inaccurate, the mem...
We develop a multi-objective model for the resource allocation problem in a dynamic PERT network, where the activity durations are exponentially distributed random variables and t...
Markov decision processes (MDPs) are a very popular tool for decision theoretic planning (DTP), partly because of the welldeveloped, expressive theory that includes effective solu...
In multistage cutting stock problems (CSP) the cutting process is distributed over several successive stages. Every stage except the last one produces intermediate products. The l...
