Planning, scheduling and effective management of contingencies are crucial for the successful management of construction projects. In this paper we explore a mathematical represen...
I will review the role that Monte Carlo methods play in the physical sciences. They are very widely used for a number of reasons: they permit the rapid and faithful transformation...
Simulation modeling has the capability to represent complex real-world systems in details and therefore it is suitable to develop simulation models for generating detailed operati...
We study the one-dimensional root finding problem for increasing convex functions. We give gradient-free algorithms for both exact and inexact (stochastic) function evaluations. ...
Spatial phenomena attract increasingly interest in computational biology. Molecular crowding, i.e. a dense population of macromolecules, is known to have a significant impact on t...
Disasters can cause extraordinary service demand by the public, while concurrently causing outages that reduce network capacity to serve the surging demand. It is imperative that ...

In a supply chain, there are wide variety of problems, such as transportation scheduling problems and warehouse location problems. These problems are independently defined as opt...
Cluster tools play an important role in modern semiconductor fabs. Due to their complexity in configuration and their varying material flow, the creation of accurate throughput mo...

The problem of finding the binomial population with the highest success probability is considered when the number of binomial populations is large. A new rigorous indifference zo...
