We propose a new approach to optimize the deployment and the sampling rates of network monitoring tools, such as Netflow, on a large IP network. It reduces to solving a stochasti...
The capacity assignment (CA) problem is one of the most essential yet important topics in packet communication networks. However, most reported CA models were established under the...
— This paper presents a novel swarm approximate dynamic programming method (swarm-ADP) for parameter optimization of PSO systems, from the perspective of optimal control. Based o...
Eight successively refined simulation models for the earthmoving operations involved in the construction of a dam provide the foundation for illustrating the ease and effectivenes...
We discuss a stochastic-programming-based method for scheduling electric power generation subject to uncertainty. Such uncertainty may arise from either imperfect forecasting or m...
