We address distributed real-time applications represented by systems of non-preemptive dependent periodic tasks. This system is described by an acyclic directed graph. Because the...
—Recently, a new optical device called variable optical delay line (VODL) has been proposed in the literature. As suggested by its name, the delay of a VODL can be dynamically se...

Schema matching is a complex process focusing on matching between concepts describing the data in heterogeneous data sources. There is a shift from manual schema matching, done by...
We propose to introduce redundant interconnects for manufacturing yield and reliability improvement. By introducing redundant interconnects, the potential for open faults is reduc...
Memetic algorithms have become to gain increasingly important for solving large scale combinatorial optimization problems. Typically, the extent of the application of local search...
