Abstract. This paper formulates the job allocation problem in distributed systems with bandwidth-constrained nodes. The bandwidth limitations of the nodes play an important role in...
Abstract. Evacuation planning is critical for numerous important applications, e.g. disaster emergency management and homeland defense preparation. Efficient tools are needed to pr...
L1 regularization is effective for feature selection, but the resulting optimization is challenging due to the non-differentiability of the 1-norm. In this paper we compare state...
Abstract. In this paper we propose an optimal anytime version of constrained simulated annealing (CSA) for solving constrained nonlinear programming problems (NLPs). One of the goa...
Developing scalable algorithms for solving partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) is an important challenge. One promising approach is based on representing POMDP...
