Simulation optimization (SO) is the process of finding the optimum design of a system whose performance measure(s) are estimated via simulation. We propose some ideas to improve o...
We study principled methods for incorporating user utility into the selection of sponsored search ads. We describe variations of the GSP allocation/pricing mechanism that accommod...
ABT is the reference algorithm for asynchronous distributed constraint satisfaction. When searching, ABT produces nogoods as justifications of deleted values. When one of such nogo...
In this work we deal with sandwich graphs G = (V, E) and present the notion of vertices f-controlled by a subset M V . We introduce the generalized maxcontrolled set problem (gmc...
