The increasing use of information technology within and between companies yields changes in the predominant coordination mechanisms. On one hand it is argued that we witness an ov...
Research in web services has allowed reusable, distributed, loosely coupled components which can easily be composed to build systems or to produce more complex services. Compositio...
—We study two convex optimization problems in a multi-class M/G/1 queue with adjustable service rates: minimizing convex functions of the average delay vector, and minimizing ave...
This paper presents a new unified subdivision scheme that is defined over a k-simplicial complex in n-D space with k 3. We first present a series of definitions to facilitate top...
: Our research has shown that schedules can be built mimicking a human scheduler by using a set of rules that involve domain knowledge. This chapter presents a Bayesian Optimizatio...
