Efficient routing and medium access control (MAC) are very important for Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). Most existing routing and MAC protocols consider homogeneous ad hoc networ...
We describe a prototype Context Aware Perioperative Information System to capture and interpret data in an operating room of the future. The captured data is used to construct the...

We consider the problem of solving a nonhomogeneous infinite horizon Markov Decision Process (MDP) problem in the general case of potentially multiple optimal first period polic...

Given a primal-dual pair of linear programs, it is well known that if their optimal values are viewed as lying on the extended real line, then the duality gap is zero, unless both...
We consider machine scheduling on unrelated parallel machines with the objective to minimize the schedule makespan. We assume that, in addition to its machine dependence, the proce...
