Multi-resource allocation in stochastic project scheduling

Daniel Kuhn, Wolfram Wiesemann

We propose a resource allocation model for project scheduling. Our model accommodates multiple resources and decision-dependent activity durations inspired by microeconomic theory. First, we elaborate a deterministic problem formulation. In a second stage, ...

Selfish Response to Epidemic Propagation

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Georgios Theodorakopoulos

An epidemic spreading in a network calls for a decision on the part of the network members: They should decide whether to protect themselves or not. Their decision depends on the trade off between their perceived risk of being infected and the cost of bein ...

Decision rules for information discovery in multi-stage stochastic programming

Daniel Kuhn

Stochastic programming and robust optimization are disciplines concerned with optimal decision-making under uncertainty over time. Traditional models and solution algorithms have been tailored to problems where the order in which the uncertainties unfold i ...

Neural Correlates of Value, Risk, and Risk Aversion Contributing to Decision Making under Risk

Decision making under risk is central to human behavior. Economic decision theory suggests that value, risk, and risk aversion influence choice behavior. Although previous studies identified neural correlates of decision parameters, the contribution of the ...

Convergent Bounds for Stochastic Programs with Expected Value Constraints

Daniel Kuhn

This article describes a bounding approximation scheme for convex multistage stochastic programs (MSP) that constrain the conditional expectation of some decision-dependent random variables. Expected value constraints of this type are useful for modelling ...

A simulation and behavioral study of decision and risk in blackjack

The purpose of this master project was to explore decision making process applied to a blackjack game and make the links with facets of impulsivity. The first part of this study goes through the mathematical of this game and presented the optimal policy, c ...

Cash Sub-additive Risk Measures and Interest Rate Ambiguity

Claudia Ravanelli

A new class of risk measures called cash sub-additive risk measures is introduced to assess the risk of future financial, non financial and insurance positions. The debated cash additive axiom is relaxed into the cash sub-additive axiom to preserve the ori ...

Deconvolution of 3D fluorescence micrographs with automatic risk minimization

Michaël Unser, Cédric René Jean Vonesch, Sathish Ramani

We investigate the problem of automatic tuning of a deconvolution algorithm for three-dimensional (3D) fluorescence microscopy; specifically, the selection of the regularization parameter lambda. For this, we consider a realistic noise model for data obtai ...

A Stochastic Programming Approach for QoS-Aware Service Composition

Daniel Kuhn, Wolfram Wiesemann

We formulate the service composition problem as a multi-objective stochastic program which simultaneously optimizes the following quality of service (QoS) parameters: workflow duration, service invocation costs, availability, and reliability. All of these ...
