We introduce parameterized pattern queries as a new paradigm to extend traditional pattern expressions over sequence databases. A parameterized pattern is essentially a string mad...
Optimality conditions are derived for problems of minimizing a general measure of deviation of a random variable, with special attention to situations where the random variable cou...

In classical two-stage stochastic programming the expected value of the total costs is minimized. Recently, mean-risk models - studied in mathematical finance for several decades -...
We develop a queueing model for analyzing resource replication strategies in wireless sensor networks. The model can be used to minimize either the total transmission rate of the ...

Ordering a set of items so as to minimize the sum of distances between consecutive elements is a fundamental optimization problem occurring in many settings. While it is NP-hard i...
