Optimality systems and their linearizations arising in optimal control of partial differential equations with pointwise control and (regularized) state constraints are considered. ...
A dynamic simulation-based crashing method is introduced in this research to evaluate project networks and determine the optimum crashing configuration that minimizes the average ...
This paper analyzes various algorithms for scheduling low priority disk drive tasks. The derived closed form solution is applicable to class of greedy algorithms that include a va...
The paper studies a distributed implementation method for the BIP (Behavior, Interaction, Priority) component framework for modeling heterogeneous systems. BIP offers two powerful ...

We consider discrete stochastic optimization problems where the objective function can only be estimated by a simulation oracle; the oracle is defined only at the discrete points....
