We present a novel message passing algorithm for approximating the MAP problem in graphical models. The algorithm is similar in structure to max-product but unlike max-product it ...
There are few development organizations that have fully integrated usability activities as an integral part of their product development projects. One reason for this is that the ...
We investigate the value of pooling capacity in supply chains that serve product demands of different variabilities. We build and analyze models that integrate production queuing...
