Motivated by issues of saving energy in data centers we define a collection of new problems referred to as "machine activation" problems. The central framework we introd...
Abstract. This paper is concerned with optimal control problems of partial differential equations. In particular, parameterized convection-diffusion problems are considered, wher...
Finding a feasible solution for a bi-dimensional Orthogonal Packing Problem (OPP2) consists in deciding whether a set of rectangular boxes (items) can be packed in a "big&quo...
Given two n-bit (cyclic) binary strings, A and B, represented on a circle (necklace instances). Let each sequence have the same number k of 1’s. We are interested in computing th...
This work concentrates on the design of a system intended for study of advanced scheduling techniques for planning various types of jobs in a Grid environment. The solution is able...
