Heuristics are an increasingly popular solution method for combinatorial optimization problems. Heuristic use often frees the modeler from some of the restrictions placed on class...
We address the problem of minimizing the communication involved in the exchange of similar documents. We consider two users, A and B, who hold documents x and y respectively. Neit...
Particle filters (PFs) are powerful samplingbased inference/learning algorithms for dynamic Bayesian networks (DBNs). They allow us to treat, in a principled way, any type of prob...

Transporting video over asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks has been an active area of research. The Variable Bit rate (VBR) service in ATM networks is primarily designed an...
The calculation of value-at-risk (VAR) for large portfolios of complex instruments is among the most demanding and widespread computational challenges facing the financial industr...
