We propose a generic method for obtaining quickly good upper bounds on the minimal value of a multistage stochastic program. The method is based on the simulation of a feasible dec...
Abstract. Stochastic Local Search (SLS) is a simple and effective paradigm for attacking a variety of Combinatorial (Optimization) Problems (COP). However, it is often non-trivial...
Optical lithography is a critical step in the semiconductor manufacturing process, and one key problem is the design of the photomask for a particular circuit pattern, given the o...
—We formulate the service composition problem as a multi-objective stochastic program which simultaneously optimizes the following quality of service (QoS) parameters: workflow ...
Limited bandwidth and high packet loss pose a serious challenge for video streaming over wireless networks. Even when packet loss in the medium is not present, the fluctuating ava...
