In recent articles we presented a general methodology for finite optimization. The new method, the Nested Partitions (NP) method, combines partitioning, random sampling, a select...
The system presented bridges the gap between three different research areas: discrete event simulation, heuristic optimization methods and distributed systems technology. Its goal...
As technology scales and the energy of computation continually approaches thermal equilibrium [1,2], parameter variations and noise levels will lead to larger error rates at vario...
We present a probabilistic model-based framework for distributed learning that takes into account privacy restrictions and is applicable to scenarios where the different sites ha...
Maintaining an asset with life-limited parts, e.g., a jet engine or an electric generator, may be costly. Certain costs, e.g., setup cost, can be shared if some parts of the asset ...
