We present a hierarchical distributed communication and control architecture for Smart Grids. The proposed topology consists of multiple layers to allow for robust and flexible d...
The Unit Commitment Problem (UCP) is the task of finding an optimal turn on and turn off schedule for a group of power generation units over a given time horizon to minimize ope...
Determining the physical location of Internet hosts is a critical enabler for many new location-aware services. In this paper, we present Octant, a novel, comprehensive framework ...
SAT is probably one of the most-studied constraint satisfaction problems. In this paper, a new hybrid technique based on local search is introduced in order to approximate and ext...
A tanglegram consists of a pair of (not necessarily binary) trees T1, T2 with leaf sets L1, L2. Additional edges, called tangles, may connect nodes in L1 with those in L2. The task...
