—E-limited (or K-limited) scheduling is attractive because its performance is close to that of the exhaustive scheduling which is proven to be the optimal polling scheme for symm...
—The interaction between MAC protocols and interference in wireless multi-hop networks introduces extra constraints on achievable flow rates. In this paper, we formulate an optim...
Service-oriented architectures (SOA) and, in particular, Web Services designs are currently widely used for the development of open, large-scale interoperable systems. In those sys...
Modern vehicles possess an increasing number of software and hardware components that are integrated in electronic control units (ECUs). Finding an optimal allocation for all comp...
Constrained continuous optimization is still an interesting field of research. Many heuristics have been proposed in the last decade. Most of them are based on penalty functions....
