This paper investigates how portability of a model between different computer operating systems can lead to increased efficiency in code execution. The portability problem is not a...
—We formulate and address the problem of planning a pushing manipulation by a mobile robot which tries to rearrange several movable objects in its work space. We present an algor...
The problem addressed in this work is to develop a comprehensive mathematical programming model for the efficient scheduling of oil-refinery operations. Our approach is first to d...
In this paper we consider the problem of eCommerce comparison shopping agents (shopbots) that are limited by capacity constraints. In light of the phenomenal increase both in dema...
Many of today's complex computer applications are being modeled and constructed using the principles inherent to real-time distributed object systems. In response to this dem...
