Machine Learning for Cloud Management
by Jitendra Kumar, Ashutosh Kumar Singh, Anand Moran, and Rajkumar Buyya
Cloud computing offers subscription-based on-demand services, and it has emerged as the backbone of the computing industry. It has enabled us to share resources among multiple users through virtualization, which creates a virtual instance of a computer system running in an abstracted hardware layer. Unlike early distributed computing models, it offers virtually limitless computing resources through its large scale cloud data centers. It has gained wide popularity over the past few years, with an...

Optimization in Civil Engineering
Civil engineering includes structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, water resources engineering, environmental engineering, transportation engineering, and construction management which can be an industrial sector which derives great benefit from the optimization because these techniques can save a lot of costs in public infrastructure construction and management that require enormous budget. This book tries to cover a wide picture how the optimization techniques can be applied to vario...
Probability and Stochastic Processes (Public Health/Environmental Health) (Wiley Desktop Editions)
by Ionut Florescu
A comprehensive and accessible presentation of probability and stochastic processes with emphasis on key theoretical concepts and real-world applications With a sophisticated approach, Probability and Stochastic Processes successfully balances theory and applications in a pedagogical and accessible format. The book s primary focus is on key theoretical notions in probability to provide a foundation for understanding concepts and examples related to stochastic processes. Organized into two main s...
This treatment provides an exposition of discrete time dynamic processes evolving over an infinite horizon. Chapter 1 reviews some mathematical results from the theory of deterministic dynamical systems, with particular emphasis on applications to economics. The theory of irreducible Markov processes, especially Markov chains, is surveyed in Chapter 2. Equilibrium and long run stability of a dynamical system in which the law of motion is subject to random perturbations is the central theme of Ch...
This book concerns continuous-time controlled Markov chains, also known as continuous-time Markov decision processes. They form a class of stochastic control problems in which a single decision-maker wishes to optimize a given objective function. This book is also concerned with Markov games, where two decision-makers (or players) try to optimize their own objective function. Both decision-making processes appear in a large number of applications in economics, operations research, engineering, a...

Rational Function Systems and Electrical Networks with Multi-Parameters
by Kai-Sheng Lu
To overcome the problems of system theory and network theory over real field, this book uses matrices over the field F(z) of rational functions in multi-parameters describing coefficient matrices of systems and networks and makes systems and network description over F(z) and researches their structural properties: reducible condition of a class of matrices over F(z) and their characteristic polynomial; type-1 matrix and two basic properties; variable replacement conditions for independent parame...
Some Inventory Models Approach to Decision Making in Fuzzy Environment

Convex and Set-Valued Analysis (De Gruyter Textbook)
by Aram V. Arutyunov and Valeri Obukhovskii
This textbook is devoted to a compressed and self-contained exposition of two important parts of contemporary mathematics: convex and set-valued analysis. In the first part, properties of convex sets, the theory of separation, convex functions and their differentiability, properties of convex cones in finite- and infinite-dimensional spaces are discussed. The second part covers some important parts of set-valued analysis. There the properties of the Hausdorff metric and various continuity concep...
Introduction to the Scenario Approach (MOS-SIAM Series on Optimization)
by Marco C. Campi and Simone Garatti
This book is about making decisions driven by experience. In this context, a scenario is an observation that comes from the environment, and scenario optimization refers to optimizing decisions over a set of available scenarios. Scenario optimization can be applied across a variety of fields, including machine learning, quantitative finance, control, and identification. The scenario approach has been given a solid mathematical foundation in recent years, addressing fundamental questions such as...
Modeling, Analysis, and Applications in Metaheuristic Computing: Advancements and Trends
Game Theory & Applications, Volume 8
Handbook of Optimization Theory
Several problems in modern genome mapping analysis belong to the field of discrete optimisation on a set of all possible orders. In this book, formulations, mathematical models and algorithms for genetic/genomic mapping problem that can be formulated in TSP-like terms are proposed. Since the 1960s, Operational Research techniques have extensively been developed to support organisations in their Manpower Planning challenge -- a fundamental aspect of Human Resource Management in organisations. Thi...
Throughout time, scientists have looked to nature in order to understand and model solutions for complex real-world problems. In particular, the study of self-organizing entities, such as social insect populations, presents a new opportunity within the field of artificial intelligence. >Emerging Research on Swarm Intelligence and Algorithm Optimization discusses current research analyzing how the collective behavior of decentralized systems in the natural world can be applied to intelligent sys...
