Abstract— In this paper we present a dual-based decomposition method, called here the proximal center method, to solve distributed model predictive control (MPC) problems for cou...
When the workflow application is executed in Service-Oriented Grid (SOG), performance issues such as service scheduling should be considered, to achieve high and stable performance...
Ellipsoidal outer-bounding of the set of all feasible state vectors under model uncertainty is a natural extension of state estimation for deterministic models with unknown-but-bo...
In the majority of cases, steel production constitutes the inception of the Supply Chains they are involved just as in automotive clusters or aerospace. Steel manufacturing compan...
We present a probabilistic analysis for a large class of combinatorial optimization problems containing, e.g., all binary optimization problems defined by linear constraints and a...
