We summarize the results of an experimental performance evaluation of using an empirical histogram to approximate the steady-state distribution of the underlying stochastic proces...
Scheduling problems are usually treated within single plant environments or within companies with several production locations. Due to the globalization of markets companies can no...
The dynamics and throughput of a bucket brigade production system is studied when workersÕ speeds increase due to learning. It is shown that, if the rules of the bucket brigade s...
We present a distributed scheme for initialization from atomic wavefunctions in ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. Good initial guesses for approximate wavefunctions are ve...
Through the recent emergence of joint resource and network virtualization, dynamic composition and provisioning of time-limited and isolated virtual infrastructures is now possible...
