The quality of multi-stage stochastic optimization models as they appear in asset liability management, energy planning, transportation, supply chain management, and other applicat...
In this paper we investigate an approach to provide approximate, anytime algorithms for DCOPs that can provide quality guarantees. At this aim, we propose the divide-and-coordinat...

We describe an Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm, ANT-MPE, for the most probable explanation problem in Bayesian network inference. After tuning its parameters settings, we c...

Adaptive Monte Carlo methods are specialized Monte Carlo simulation techniques where the methods are adaptively tuned as the simulation progresses. The primary focus of such techn...
