Abstract. Computing lower bounds to the best-cost extension of a tuple is an ubiquous task in constraint optimization. A particular case of special interest is the computation of l...
A well-studied problem in the electric power industry is that of optimally scheduling preventative maintenance of power generating units within a power plant. We show how these pr...
We describe an algorithm for estimating the number of page fetches for a partial or complete scan of a B-tree index. The algorithm obtains estimates for the number of page fetches ...
Abstract. This paper presents an iterative, highly parallelizable approach to find good tours for very large instances of the Euclidian version of the well-known Traveling Salesma...
