Conditioning and Aggregating Uncertain Data Streams: Going Beyond Expectations
Uncertain data streams are increasingly common in real-world deployments and monitoring applications require the evaluation of complex queries on such streams. In this paper, we c...

The reliability/cost trade-off for a class of ODE solvers
In the numerical solution of ODEs, it is now possible to develop efficient techniques that will deliver approximate solutions that are piecewise polynomials. The resulting methods...

On Khachiyan's algorithm for the computation of minimum-volume enclosing ellipsoids
Given A := {a1, . . . , am} ⊂ Rd whose affine hull is Rd, we study the problems of computing an approximate rounding of the convex hull of A and an approximation to the minimum ...

Inventory placement in acyclic supply chain networks
The strategic safety stock placement problem is a constrained separable concave minimization problem and so is solvable, in principle, as a sequence of mixed-integer programming p...

Oracular Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes: A Very Special Case
— We introduce the Oracular Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (OPOMDP), a type of POMDP in which the world produces no observations; instead there is an “oracle,” ...
