Robust Query Processing through Progressive Optimization
Virtually every commercial query optimizer chooses the best plan for a query using a cost model that relies heavily on accurate cardinality estimation. Cardinality estimation erro...

Iterative Risk Allocation: A new approach to robust Model Predictive Control with a joint chance constraint
Abstract— This paper proposes a novel two-stage optimization method for robust Model Predictive Control (RMPC) with Gaussian disturbance and state estimation error. Since the dis...

Robust Beamforming via Worst-Case SINR Maximization
Minimum variance beamforming, which uses a weight vector that maximizes the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), is often sensitive to estimation error and uncertainty i...
