This paper examines critically the contributions of Cournot, Jevons and Walras as the founders of classical mathematical economics from a methodological standpoint. Advances in different economic schools and doctrines in the 19th century produced an environment of multi-dimensionality in economic analysis which was regarded by the pioneers of classical mathematical economists as a chaotic state...

A multi-agent approach for network management was presented. Agents were built as a set of layers on top of the April language. April is a distributed symbolic programming language. The layers supported a set of object oriented and database features, labeled under the name April++. April++ objects have the ability in addition to the ordinary object oriented features, to deal with dynamic method...

This talk will cover the main components of sequential modelbased optimization algorithms. Algorithms of this kind represent the state-of-the-art for expensive black-box optimization problems and are getting increasingly popular for hyper-parameter optimization of machine learning algorithms, especially on larger data sets. The talk will cover the main components of sequential model-based optim...

Adaptivity plays a central role for Web-based assistance to work and training processes. In the last decade, learning and work systems have evolved, from single-user sequential scenarios to multi-actors rich learn-flows and workflows. Within the Semantic Web, resources, activities, and actors are referenced semantically using ontologies, while the user model focuses more on the user’s cognitive...

in this research, both resource allocation and reactive resource allocation problems in multi-server dynamic pert networks are analytically modeled, where new projects are expected to arrive according to a poisson process, and activity durations are also known as independent random variables with exponential distributions. such system is represented as a queuing network, where multi servers at ...

The emerging trend of vehicle electrification is transforming the transportation industry by replacing traditional mechanical and hydraulic components with higher performing, more reliable, efficient electrical components. However, introduction a complex network onboard mobile systems poses significant challenges for control design. A notable challenge coordination multi-domain multi-timescale ...

Database recovery does not mask failures to applications and users. Recovery is needed that considers data, messages, and application components. Special cases have been studied, but clear principles for recovery guarantees in general multi-tier applications such as web-based e-services are missing. We develop a framework for recovery guarantees that masks almost all failures. The main concept ...

We consider the problem of testing sequentially the components of a multi-component reliability system in order to figure out the state of the system via costly tests. In particular, systems with identical components are considered. The notion of lexicographically large binary decision trees is introduced and a heuristic algorithm based on that notion is proposed. The performance of the heurist...
