Given a planar polygonal subdivision S, the point location problem is to preprocess S into a data structure so that the cell of the subdivision that contains a given query point c...
Many scientific applications generate massive volumes of data through observations or computer simulations, bringing up the need for effective indexing methods for efficient stora...
We present a novel message passing algorithm for approximating the MAP problem in graphical models. The algorithm is similar in structure to max-product but unlike max-product it ...
In this paper we introduce a new algorithm for computing near optimal schedules for task graph problems. In contrast to conventional approaches for solving those scheduling proble...
We consider a supply chain design problem where the decision maker needs to decide the number and locations of the distribution centers (DCs). Customers face random demand, and ea...
