  摘要：In service industries, operations are often split into the front office and the back room. The front office deals directly with customers, whereas the back room engages in manufacturing-like operations. While such an arrangement may enjoy many benefits including reduced customer participation and back room efficiency, it gives rise to the possibility of communication and coordination problems between the front office and the back room. To address such coordination problems, we work from one po...

  摘要：Suppose two blind agents with unit speed are placed a distance H apart on an infinite line, and faced in random directions. Their initial distance H is picked from a distribution F with finite mean mu. We present a pair of rendezvous strategies which do not depend on the distribution F and ensure a meeting in expected time less than 5.514 mu. This improves the bound of 5.74 mu given by Baston and Gal. Furthermore, the bound we give is best possible for strategies of our type.
