Abstract. This paper proposes an approximate methodology for solving Markov models that compete for limited resources and retry when access fails, like those arising in mobile cell...
Determining molecular structure from interatomic distances is an important and challenging problem. Given a molecule with n atoms, lower and upper bounds on interatomic distances ...
It is well known from queueing and simulation models that cycle times in capacitated production systems increase nonlinearly with resource utilization, which poses considerable di...
While students' skill set profiles can be estimated with formal cognitive diagnosis models [8], their computational complexity makes simpler proxy skill estimates attractive [...
Discrete optimization problemsarise throughout many real world domainsincluding planning, decision making, and search. NP-hardin general, these problems require novel approachesto...
