We consider the spread of a general epidemic amongst a population consisting of invididuals with differing susceptibilities to the disease. Deterministic and stochastic versions of the basic model are ...

In this paper, we propose a novel optimization algorithm for examination timetabling. It works by alternating two phases; one based on a stochastic local search and the other on a deterministic local ...

Probabilistic programming languages (PPLs) have emerged as a transformative tool for expressing complex statistical models and automating inference procedures. By integrating probability theory into ...
