The class of stochastic nonlinear programming (SNLP) problems is important in optimization due to the presence of nonlinearity and uncertainty in many applications, including thos...
The presence of "unwanted" (or background) traffic in the Internet is a well-known fact. In principle any network that has been engineered without taking its presence in...
This paper describes a dynamic computer-based business learning environment and the results from applying it in a real-world business organization. We argue for using learning too...
We present the Optimizing Control Variate (OCV) estimator, a new estimator for Monte Carlo rendering. Based upon a deterministic sampling framework, OCV allows multiple importance...

The simulation of complex layers of folds of cloth can be handled through algorithms which take the physical dynamics into account. In many cases, however, it is sufficient to gen...
