A mixed plane graph is a plane graph whose edge set is partitioned into a set of directed edges and a set of undirected edges. An orientation of a mixed plane graph G is an assignm...
Abstract. This paper presents new results on the game theoretical analysis of optimal communications strategies over a sensor network model. Our model involves one single Gaussian ...
Quantifying the robustness of a real-time system consists in measuring the maximum extension of the timing delays such that the system still satisfies its specification. In this ...
Information-Geometric Optimization (IGO) is a unified framework of stochastic algorithms for optimization problems. Given a family of probability distributions, IGO turns the ori...
—Operational processes leave trails in the information systems supporting them. Such event data are the starting point for process mining – an emerging scientific discipline r...
An iterative selection hyper-heuristic passes a solution through a heuristic selection process to decide on a heuristic to apply from a fixed set of low level heuristics and then ...
