This paper discusses the issues that arise in the design and implementation of an industrialstrength evolutionary-based system for the optimization of the monthly work schedules f...
Partitioning and global scheduling are two approaches for scheduling real-time tasks on multiprocessors. Though partitioning is sub-optimal, it has traditionally been preferred; t...

— In this paper a new approach to optimize nuclear power plant designs based on global risk reduction are described. In design the focus is on as components quality as redundancy...
— We propose a general family of MAC scheduling algorithms that achieve any rate-point on a uniform discretelattice within the throughput-region (i.e., lattice-throughputoptimal)...
Given a set of rectangles with fixed orientations, we want to find an enclosing rectangle of minimum area that contains them all with no overlap. Many simple scheduling tasks ca...
