Multiple combinations of hardware and network components can be selected to design an information technology (IT) infrastructure that satisfies performance requirements. The profe...
In this paper we consider solving a complex real life break scheduling problem. This problem of high practical relevance arises in many working areas, e.g. in air traffic control a...
We present a system for creating and manipulating layered procedural surface editing operations, which is motivated by the limited support for iterative design in free-form modeli...
There is an increasing need for new Web server architectures that are application-centric, simple, small, and pervasive in nature. In this paper, we present a novel architecture f...
Global optimization can be used as the main component for reliable decision support systems. In this contribution, we explore numerical solution techniques for nonconvex and nondi...
