In this paper, we motivate the need for and challenges involved in supporting imprecise queries over Web databases. Then we briefly explain our solution, AIMQ - a domain independe...
Approximate linear programming (ALP) offers a promising framework for solving large factored Markov decision processes (MDPs) with both discrete and continuous states. Successful ...
The paper describes a fuzzy decisionmalung approach to controlling thermal comfort in the occupied zones of an airconditioned building. The control objective is defined in terms o...
Credit risk analysis for portfolios containing CDO tranches is a challenging task for risk managers. We propose here a basis function approach for CDO tranche valuation and portfo...
We consider mixed-integer recourse (MIR) models with a single recourse constraint. We relate the second-stage value function of such problems to the expected simple integer recour...
