Uncertainty is a very important concern in production scheduling since it can cause infeasibilities and production disturbances. Thus scheduling under uncertainty has received a l...
In discrete event systems, a given task can start executing when all the required input data are available. The required input data for a given task may change along the evolution...
We present a new methodology of user simulation applied to the evaluation and refinement of stochastic dialog systems. Common weaknesses of these systems are the scarceness of the...
We discuss tournaments in terms of their efficiency as probabilistic mechanisms that select high-quality alternatives ("players") in a noisy environment. We use two crit...
We analyze a model of irreversible investment with two sources of uncertainty. A riskneutral decision maker has the choice between two mutually exclusive projects under input pric...
