We propose a framework which we call stochastic offline programming (SOP). The idea is to embed the development of combinatorial algorithms in an off-line learning environment whi...
We consider the problem of minimizing the total weighted completion time on identical parallel machines when jobs have stochastic processing times and may arrive over time. We give...
This paper is concerned with the problem of receding horizon control of discrete-time systems subject to possibly unbounded random noise inputs, while satisfying hard bounds on the...
Deterministic optimization approaches have been well developed and widely used in the process industry to accomplish off-line and on-line process optimization. The challenging tas...
We propose a new algorithm for the real-time control of an interframe video coder operating with a variable rate channel such as wireless channels or the Internet. Using technique...
