—Restoring data operations after a disaster is a daunting task: how should recovery be performed to minimize data loss and application downtime? Administrators are under consider...
Abstract. In this paper we propose an optimal anytime version of constrained simulated annealing (CSA) for solving constrained nonlinear programming problems (NLPs). One of the goa...
The problem of scheduling groups of jobs on a single machine under the group technology assumption is studied. Jobs of the same group are processed contiguously and a sequence ind...
