RFID tags are being used in many diverse applications in increasingly large numbers. These capabilities of these tags span from very dumb passive tags to smart active tags, with t...
The fare planning problem for public transport is to design a system of fares that maximize the revenue. We introduce a nonlinear optimization model to approach this problem. It i...
A fundamental problem in a large scale decentralized stream processing system is how to best utilize the available resources and admission control the bursty and high volume input...
This paper studies the optimization of observation channels (stochastic kernels) in partially observed stochastic control problems. In particular, existence, continuity, and convex...
Motivated by a security problem in geographic information systems, we study the following graph theoretical problem: given a graph G, two special nodes s and t in G, and a number k...
