We present a domain independent off-line adaptation technique called Stochastic Plan Optimization for finding and improving plans in real-time strategy games. Our method is based ...
Simulation optimization (SO) is the process of finding the optimum design of a system whose performance measure(s) are estimated via simulation. We propose some ideas to improve o...
In an assembly line with high labor proportion, the workforce planning and scheduling is a very complex problem. At the background of increasing labor costs, it is very important ...
Efficiency is a big concern when using simulation to estimate rare-event probabilities, since a huge number of simulation replications may be needed in order to obtain a reasonabl...
We consider the problem of selecting the best among several heavy-tailed systems using a large deviations perspective. In contrast to the light-tailed setting studied by Glynn and...
