When a switching network topology is used for constructing optical cross-connects, as in the circuit switching case, no two routes are allowed to share a link. However, if two rou...
Software components o er numerous advantages in terms of development, but may give rise to ine ciency due to highly generic implementations. Program specialization can automatical...
In this paper we introduce a simple ant based algorithm for solving a copper mine planning problem. In the last 10 years this realworld problem has been tackled using linear intege...
Constraint programming provides a declarative approach to solving combinatorial (optimization) problems. The user just states the problem as a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP)...
This paper presents a new data classification method based on mixed-integer programming. Traditional approaches that are based on partitioning the data sets into two groups perfor...
