We consider the problem of selecting the best system using simulation-based ordinal optimization. This problem has been studied mostly in the context of light-tailed distributions...
: Kriging-based exploration strategies often rely on a single Ordinary Kriging model which parametric covariance kernel is selected a priori or on the basis of an initial data set....
Thermal micro-actuators are a promising solution to the need for large-displacement, gentle handling force, low-power MEMS actuators. Potential applications of these devices are mi...
Electronic negotiation experiments provide a rich source of information about relationships between the negotiators, their individual actions, and the negotiation dynami...
