In this paper, we consider decentralized two-level 0-1 programming problems in which there are one decision maker (the leader) at the upper level and two or more decision makers (the followers) at the lower level, and decision variables of each decision maker are 0-1 variables. We assume that there is coordination among the followers while between the leader and the group of all the followers, ...

In this paper, assuming cooperative behavior of the decision makers, two-level linear programming problems involving random variables in constraints are considered. Using the concept of simple recourse, the formulated stochastic two-level simple recourse problems are transformed into deterministic two-level programming ones. Taking into account vagueness of judgments of the decision makers, int...

In this paper we present a global approach for programming distributed multiprocessor systems. In this approach, applications are developed as a global parallel program that is independent of the particular hardware architecture, and is represented through an extended Petri net model. The building blocks for the global program are tasks that are implemented using standard programming languages....

We propose a new variant of the two-stage recourse model. It can be used e.g., in managing resources in whose supply random interruptions may occur. Oil and natural gas are examples for such resources. Constraints in the resulting stochastic programming problems can be regarded as generalizations of integrated chance constraints. For the solution of such problems, we propose a new decomposition...

In this paper, we present an efficient architecture for connected speech recognition that can be efficiently implemented with FPGA. The architecture consists of newly derived two-level dynamic programming(TLDP) that use only bit addition and shift operations. The advantages of this architecture are the spatial efficiency to accommodate more words with limited space and the computational speed f...
