We present a technique for computing approximately optimal solutions to stochastic resource allocation problems modeled as Markov decision processes (MDPs). We exploit two key pro...

One of the surprising findings from the study of CNF satisfiability in the 1990's has been the success of iterative repair techniques, and in particular of weighted iterative...
Production planning is an important task in manufacturing systems. We consider a real-world capacitated lot-sizing problem (CLSP) from the process industry. Because the problem re...

A fundamental facility location problem is to choose the location of facilities, such as industrial plants and warehouses, to minimize the cost of satisfying the demand for some c...
Given a set of numbers, the two-way partitioning problem is to divide them into two subsets, so that the sum of the numbers in each subset are as nearly equal as possible. The pro...
