Maximizing the utilization of operating rooms with stochastic times using simulation
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...

On Prime-Order Elliptic Curves with Embedding Degrees k = 3, 4, and 6
Abstract. We further analyze the solutions to the Diophantine equations from which prime-order elliptic curves of embedding degrees k = 3, 4 or 6 (MNT curves) may be obtained. We g...

Assembly Code Analysis Using Stochastic Process Algebra
Currently compilers contain a large number of optimisations which are based on a set of heuristics that are not guaranteed to be effective to improve the performance metrics. In th...

Deterministic Latent Variable Models and Their Pitfalls
We derive a number of well known deterministic latent variable models such as PCA, ICA, EPCA, NMF and PLSA as variational EM approximations with point posteriors. We show that the...
