	abstract = {In 1973 A. J. Chorin [Math. Comp., 27 (1973), pp. 1-15] reported quadrature formulas for the approximation~of a class of Wiener path integrals by n-fold ordinary integrals with an error O(n-2). Similar formulas are presented here for certain stochastic Wiener function space integrals in which n-fold integral approximations result in error O(n^-2) or O(n^-3/2). Stochastic Wiener integrals arise in the physics of wave propagation in random media and in signal estimation problems in communication theory. The present formulas provide simple, accurate computational tools for these applications, among others. This point is illustrated by several examples in the paper.},

	abstract = {Numerical methods for the solution of the robust version of the Duncan-Mortensen-Zakai partial differential equation are considered. Both semidiscretization and complete discretization schemes are included. Direct implementation of such schemes via array processors is proposed as a design method for nonlinear filters. The importance of existence, uniqueness and tail behavior of solutions is related to properties of such implementations.},

The extensions are in two directions: (a) Unstable (in the input-output sense) plans are allowed (b) New classes of irrational transfer functions are being considered (other than meromorphic of bounded type).},

	abstract = {Filtering of a diffusion with nonlinear drifts of a type defined by Benes is studied. Explicit, finite dimensional, recursive filters are shown to exist for moments and polynomial functionals of the diffusion, and a smoothing formula is given. These results are related to current, geometric approaches to filtering.},

	abstract = {We consider optimal server time allocation to two parallel queues. The server has available complete past observations of the queue sizes for his decisions. The infinite time discounted version of the problem is analyzed here. It is shown that the optimal strategy is stationary. The optimal value function is shown to be the unique solution of the Bellman equation. Finally, analysis of degenerate Bellman equations, of the type appearing in this problem is presented. Numerical methods of solution can be derived from the results presented here.},

Since the technical details are very complicated and well reported elsewhere the emphasis is on placing these results in a traffic context. A fairly complete solution to the optimal control of an isolated intersection is outlined. The extension of these results to networks is sketched. Finally, some interesting areas for further research are given.},
