Many real-world search and optimization problems naturally involve constraint handling. Recently, quite a few heuristic methods were proposed to solve the nonlinear constrained op...
This paper addresses the problem of scheduling jobs in soft real-time systems, where the utility of completing each job decreases over time. We present a utility-based framework fo...
In this paper, we explore the feasibility and performance optimization problems for real-time systems that must remain functional during an operation/mission with a fixed, initial...
—This paper addresses optimal spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks considering its system level cost that accounts for the local processing cost of sensing (sample collec...
Simulated annealing has been one of the most popular stochastic optimization methods used in the VLSI CAD field in the past two decades for handling NP-hard optimization problems...
