— Virtual Private Networks (VPN) provide a secure and reliable communication between customer sites over a shared network. With increase in number and size of VPNs, providers nee...
Three years ago the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) decided to embrace netnews as a site-wide, multi-platform communications tool for the laboratory’s diverse user com...
In cellular telephone systems, an important problem is to dynamically allocate the communication resource channels so as to maximize service in a stochastic caller environment. Th...
We study a generalization of the k-median problem with respect to an arbitrary dissimilarity measure D. Given a finite set P, our goal is to find a set C of size k such that the s...
Abstract. Approximate dynamic programming offers a new modeling and algorithmic strategy for complex problems such as rail operations. Problems in rail operations are often modeled...
