We introduce a generic framework for the distributed execution of combinatorial optimization tasks. Instead of relying on custom hardware (like dedicated parallel machines or clus...
A solution is provided to the problem of computing a convex set of conditional probability distributions that characterize the state of a nonlinear dynamic system as it evolves in...
We consider a new simulation-based optimization method called the Nested Partitions (NP) method. This method generates a Markov chain and solving the optimization problem is equiv...
Abstract. One of the most important features in an urban geographic information system is the ability to locate addresses, in any form employed by the population, in a quick and ef...
