This paper addresses the general single-machine earliness-tardiness problem with distinct release dates, due dates, and unit costs. The aim of this research is to obtain an exact n...
The problem of scheduling a weighted directed acyclic graph (DAG) to a set of homogeneous processors to minimize the completion time has been extensively studied. The NPcompletene...
Efficient evaluation of design choices, in terms of selection of algorithms to be implemented as hardware or software, and finding an optimal hw/sw design mix is an important re...
— In this paper a new approach to optimize nuclear power plant designs based on global risk reduction are described. In design the focus is on as components quality as redundancy...
— The input-queued switch architecture is widely used in Internet routers, due to its ability to run at very high line speeds. A central problem in designing an input-queued swit...
