Abstract:
|
This presentation introduces recent research efforts and
results in identifying and predicting time-dependent processes,
with various degrees of model discontinuity and uncertainty.
This generalization is gradually unfolded, while always motivated
by real-world challenges and applications of them that are a part
of today's fascinating OR. |
