Optimization of Stochastic Discrete Event Simulation Models
No full textMany systems in logistics can be adequately modeled using stochastic discrete
event simulation models. Often these models are used to find a good or optimal
configuration of the system. This implies that optimization algorithms have to
be coupled with the models. Optimization of stochastic
simulation models is a challenging research topic since the approaches should
be efficient, reliable and should provide some guarantee to find at least in
the limiting case with a runtime going to infinite the optimal solution with a
probability converging to 1.
The talk gives an overview on the state of the art in simulation
optimization. It shows that hybrid algorithms combining global and local
optimization methods are currently the best class of optimization approaches
in the area and it outlines the need for the development of software tools
including available algorithms

Iteration at Different Levels: Multi-Level Methods for Structured Markov Chains
No full textFor the stationary analysis of large Markov chains in continuous and discrete time a wide
variety of solution techniques has been applied in the past. Empirical
comparisons show that in particular so called multi-level approaches that
perform iterations at different levels are the most efficient
solvers for a wide class of Markov chains. The methods combine ideas from
aggregation disaggregation methods and algebraic multigrid.
The talk gives an overview of the basic ideas of multi level approaches and
shows which design alternatives for the algorithms exist. In particular it considers
different forms of defining levels, available alternatives to realize
prolongation and interpolation operations, different cycle types and different
stopping criteria for the smoothing operations at each level. The last part of
the talk is devoted to implementation issues and data structures that are
necessary for an efficient realization of multi-level methods
Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin

Gender, education and employment : an international comparison of school-to-work transitions
No full textFor much of the twentieth century, women lagged considerably behind men in their educational attainment. However, in recent decades, young women have become an important source of human capital for labor markets in modern societies, as well as potential competitors to the male workforce. This book asks whether or not women have been able to convert their educational success into gains on the labor market. The expert contributors address the topic on a comparative level with discussions centred on gendered school-to-work transitions and gendered labor market outcomes. Thereafter they analyze the country-specific implications of the gender redress from a wide range of countries including the USA, Russia and Australia.-- Preface
