Random data placement has recently emerged as an alternative to traditional data striping. From a performance perspective, it has been demonstrated to be an efficient and scalable...
Background: Due to the large number of genes in a typical microarray dataset, feature selection looks set to play an important role in reducing noise and computational cost in gen...
Background: New high throughput pyrosequencers such as the 454 Life Sciences GS 20 are capable of massively parallelizing DNA sequencing providing an unprecedented rate of output ...

We study the important problem of how a supplier should optimally share the consequences of demand uncertainty (i.e., the cost of inventory excesses and shortages) with a retailer...
We introduce and study a randomized quasi-Monte Carlo method for estimating the state distribution at each step of a Markov chain. The number of steps in the chain can be random an...
