This paper is concerned with an employee scheduling problem involving multiple shifts and work centers, where employees belong to a hierarchy of categories having downward substitu...
—We describe and evaluate a suite of distributed and computationally efficient algorithms for solving a class of convex optimization problems in wireless sensor networks. The pr...
In order to maintain a reliable and economic electric power supply, the maintenance of power plants is becoming increasingly important. In this paper, a formulation that enables a...
In this paper, we formulate the shape localization problem in the Bayesian framework. In the learning stage, we propose the Constrained RankBoost approach to model the likelihood ...
The problem of coalition formation when agents are uncertain about the types or capabilities of their potential partners is a critical one. In [3] a Bayesian reinforcement learnin...
