In a column-restricted covering integer program (CCIP), all the non-zero entries of any column of the constraint matrix are equal. Such programs capture capacitated versions of cov...
The large-granularity Web services are a new form of Web services. In contrast to the traditional Web services, they often have more interfaces, encapsulate more complex business ...
In this paper we study a rich vehicle routing problem incorporating various complexities found in real-life applications. The General Vehicle Routing Problem (GVRP) is a combined ...
Abstract. The topological design of distributed packet switched networks consists of finding a topology that minimizes the communication costs by taking into account a certain num...
The presence of uncertainty in the real world makes robustness to be a desired property of solutions to constraint satisfaction problems. Roughly speaking, a solution is robust if...
