In factory automation, production line scheduling entails a number of competing issues. Finding optimal configurations often requires use of local search techniques. Local search l...
In this paper we compare the average performance of Monte Carlo methods for global optimization with non-adaptive deterministic alternatives. We analyze the behavior of the algori...
We consider the problem of designing a revenue-maximizing auction for a single item, when the values of the bidders are drawn from a correlated distribution. We observe that there...
In this paper we design several double length hash functions and study their security properties in the random oracle model. We design a class of double length hash functions (and ...
In this paper, we develop a probabilistic model for estimation of the numbers of cache misses during the sparse matrix-vector multiplication (for both general and symmetric matrice...
