We introduce a language for the representation of a subset of strategic interactions. The representation is based on petri nets. Representable games are restricted to have a fini...
As software systems evolve by adding new extensions some unexpected conflicts may occur, which is known as the Feature Interaction Problem (FIP). FIP is a threat to the dependabil...
Several inverse problems exist in the atmospheric sciences that are computationally costly when using traditional gradient based methods. Unfortunately, many standard evolutionary ...

We consider the problem of preemptive scheduling on uniformly related machines. We present a semi-online algorithm which, if the optimal makespan is given in advance, produces an ...
In this paper, we suggest a block-restricted sifting strategy which is based on the restriction of Rudell's sifting to certain blocks of variables. The application of this st...
