Implementations of computer systems comprise many layers and employ a variety of programming languages. Building such systems requires support of an often complex, accompanying too...
Recently developed dual techniques allow us to evaluate a given sub-optimal dynamic portfolio policy by using the policy to construct an upper bound on the optimal value function....
We use computer simulation to study the performance of alternative real-time delay estimators in heavily loaded multiserver queueing models. These delay estimates may be used to m...
In the construction industry, a specialist subcontractor manages a taskforce of single-skilled laborers to work on multiple construction sites, aiming to minimize the total cost a...
Using simulation, Headway Technologies predicted that increasing staffing among a group of already lightly loaded machine operators--"overstaffing"--would significantly ...
