In this paper, we study the relationship between the two techniques known as ant colony optimization (aco) and stochastic gradient descent. More precisely, we show that some empir...
Abstract. Motivated by an application in project portfolio analysis under uncertainty, we develop an algorithm S-VNS for solving stochastic combinatorial optimization (SCO) problem...

Stochastic Flow Models (SFMs) are stochastic ystems that abstract the dynamics of complex discrete event systems involving the control of sharable resources. SFMs have been used to...
We present the design of a banner advertising auction which is considerably more expressive than current designs. We describe a general model of expressive ad contracts/bidding an...

This paper reports about the application of a new variant of multiobjective Mixed-Integer Evolution Strategy to a warehouse design optimization problem. The algorithm is able to d...
