How can an intelligent agent update her knowledge base about an action domain, relative to some conditions (possibly obtained from earlier observations)? We study this question in...
ObjectMath is a high-level programming environment and modeling language for scientific computing which supports variants and graphical browsing in the environment and integrates o...
We consider discrete stochastic optimization problems where the objective function can only be estimated by a simulation oracle; the oracle is defined only at the discrete points....
We apply and extend the priority algorithm framework introduced by Borodin, Nielsen, and Rackoff to define "greedy-like" algorithms for the (uncapacitated) facility locat...
Motivated by issues of saving energy in data centers we define a collection of new problems referred to as "machine activation" problems. The central framework we introd...
