Approximate dynamic programming is emerging as a powerful tool for certain classes of multistage stochastic, dynamic problems that arise in operations research. It has been applie...
Motivated by applications such as the spread of epidemics and the propagation of influence in social networks, we propose a formal model for analyzing the dynamics of such networ...

Discrete Event Simulation (DES) has been used as a design and validation tool in various production and business applications. DES can also be utilized for analyzing the product-m...
Scheduling of a construction project requires: a) hierarchical decomposition of the project; b) incorporation of risk and uncertainty in the activity time and cost estimates; and ...
A novel framework is introduced for visual event detection. Visual events are viewed as stochastic temporal processes in the semantic concept space. In this concept-centered appro...
