In many situations, a set of hard constraints encodes the feasible configurations of some system or product over which multiple users have distinct preferences. However, making su...
In recent decades, many meta-heuristics, including genetic algorithm (GA), ant colony optimization (ACO) and various local search (LS) procedures have been developed for solving a...
Investors vary with respect to their expected return and aversion to associated risk, and hence also vary in their performance expectations of the stock market portfolios they hol...
This paper presents a heuristic algorithm for solving RCPSP/max, the resource constrained project scheduling problem with generalized precedence relations. The algorithm relies, a...
Many types of applications can benefit from flexible and open middleware. CORBA is an emerging middleware standard for Object Request Brokers (ORBs) that simplifies the developmen...
