The stochastic approximation method is behind the solution to many important, actively-studied problems in machine learning. Despite its farreaching application, there is almost n...
Abstract. Considering one-dimensional continuum-armed bandit problems, we propose an improvement of an algorithm of Kleinberg and a new set of conditions which give rise to improve...
Virtualization provides a vehicle to manage the available resources and enhance their utilization in network computing. System dynamics requires virtual machines be distributed an...
This paper addresses a surgery rooms scheduling problem. The problem is modeled as a parallel machine scheduling problem with sequence dependent setup times and an objective of mi...
We consider the problem of minimizing the total weighted completion time on identical parallel machines when jobs have stochastic processing times and may arrive over time. We give...
