Over 90 percent of all microprocessors are now used for realtime and embedded applications. Since the behavior of these applications is often constrained by the physical world, it...
In this paper we tackle the task assignment problem (TSAP) in heterogeneous computer systems. The TSAP consists of assigning a given distributed computer program formed by a numbe...
The problem of obtaining the maximum a posteriori (map) estimate of a discrete random field is of fundamental importance in many areas of Computer Science. In this work, we build ...
Incorporating constraints into a reactive BDI agent programming language can lead to better expressive capabilities as well as more efficient computation (in some instances). More...
We consider complex scheduling problems that can be captured as optimization under hard and soft constraints. The objective of such an optimization problem is to satisfy as many h...
