This paper deals with ranking and selection problem via simulation. We present an optimal computing budget allocation technique which can select the best of k simulated designs. T...
In MaxSat, we ask for an assignment which satisfies the maximum number of clauses for a boolean formula in CNF. We present an algorithm yielding a run time upper bound of O (2 K 6....
In the context of scheduling, we study social cost efficiency for a cost-sharing problem in which the service provider's cost is determined by the makespan of the served agen...
