Local ratio is a well-known paradigm for designing approximation algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems. At a very high level, a local-ratio algorithm first decomposes ...
Increased complexity of simulation models and the related modeling needs for global supply chains have necessitated the execution of simulations on multiple processors. While dist...
ABSTRACT. Multiset pushdown systems have been introduced by Sen and Viswanathan as an adequate model for asynchronous programs where some procedure calls can be stored as tasks to ...

Effective information systems require the existence of explicit process models. A completely specified process design needs to be developed in order to enact a given business proce...

Probabilistic planning problems are typically modeled as a Markov Decision Process (MDP). MDPs, while an otherwise expressive model, allow only for sequential, non-durative action...
