Dynamic programming, branch-and-bound, and constraint programming are the standard solution principles for nding optimal solutions to machine scheduling problems. We propose a new ...
Given a set of pins and a set of obstacles on a plane, an obstacle-avoiding rectilinear Steiner minimal tree (OARSMT) connects these pins, possibly through some additional points (...
Abstract--Designers and high-level synthesis tools can introduce unwanted cycles in digital circuits, and for certain combinational functions, cyclic circuits that are stable and d...
We compare two inventory systems, one in which excess demand is lost and the other in which excess demand is backordered. Both systems are reviewed periodically. They experience t...

Embedded control systems are often implemented in small microprocessors enabled with real-time technology. In this context, control laws are often designed according to discrete-ti...
