Publisher's Synopsis
This volume contains papers presented during a four-day Workshop that took place at Rutgers University from 29 April to 2 May, 1991. The purpose of this workshop was to promote interaction among specialists in these areas byproviding for all an up-to-date picture of current issues and outstanding problems. The topics covered include singular stochasticcontrol, queuing networks, the mathematical theory of stochastic optimization and filtering, adaptive control and the estimation for random fields and its connections with simulated annealing, statistical mechanics, and combinatorial optimization.
