Mathematics of Operations Research, Vol. 18, No. 1 (Feb., 1993), pp. 71-97 (27 pages) This paper is concerned with the design and probabilistic analysis of algorithms for the maximum-flow problem and ...

We give a unified probabilistic analysis for a general class of bin packing problems by directly analyzing corresponding mathematical programs. In this general class of packing problems, objects are ...

The design and construction of capital projects can be extremely complex. Uncertainty and risk add to this complexity and, as a result, many projects experience significant cost overruns and schedule ...

Risk and uncertainty are rarely evaluated as an integral part of the planning process. An array of risks—from hydrocarbon potential and operating characteristics, to political or market factors—can ...

Although probabilistic risk analysis methods have been available to engineering and construction practitioners for decades, their use is not pervasive in industry today. To determine why their use is ...

A DARPA-funded processor start-up has made bold claims about a new kind of processor that computes using probabilities, rather than the traditional ones and zeroes of conventional processors. Lyric ...
