The accuracy of using linear models for crude distillation unit (CDU), fluidize-bed catalytic cracker (FCC) and product blending in refinery planning has been debated for decades....
An issue that is critical for the application of Markov decision processes MDPs to realistic problems is how the complexity of planning scales with the size of the MDP. In stochas...
Algorithms that exploit sort orders are widely used to implement joins, grouping, duplicate elimination and other set operations. Query optimizers traditionally deal with sort ord...
In this paper, we study the static path planning problem with wireless sensor network localization as the primary objective. We consider a model in which sensors are assumed to be...
We propose a model-based methodology to size and plan enterprise applications under Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Our approach is illustrated using a real-world Enterprise Reso...
