Abstract. We consider the use of a cluster system for managing autonomous databases. In order to improve the performance of read-only queries, we strive to exploit user requirement...
Many real-life scheduling, routing and location problems can be formulated as combinatorial optimization problems whose goal is to find a linear layout of an input graph in such a ...
Reinforcement learning in real-world domains suffers from three curses of dimensionality: explosions in state and action spaces, and high stochasticity. We present approaches that ...
One of the more complex maneuvers a hospital system can perform is moving an entire patient population from an old facility to a replacement facility. All patients must be transpo...
