A modification of the standard Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm is presented for finding the global minimum of a continuous multidimensional, multimodal function. We report resu...
The process by which outpatients are scheduled for a doctor's visit is a crucial determinant of the overall efficiency of the patient flow. The problem at hand consists of de...
We extend a recently-proposed framework for the rate-distortion optimized transmission of packetized media. The original framework assumed that media packets each have a single arr...
— An optimal bandwidth allocation policy for axis distributed control using networked control systems (NCS) is presented. First, the benefits of structuring highly articulated r...
Operating rooms are regarded as the most costly hospital facilities. Due to rising costs and decreasing reimbursements, it is necessary to optimize the efficiency of the operating...
