In this work the performance of several local search and metaheuristic methods is compared to previously reported work using evolutionary algorithms. The results show that while m...
The logical configuration of a WDM network can be changed by reassigning wavelengths to tunable transceivers of nodes. In this paper, we develop reconfiguration algorithms to obtai...
Abstract. In this paper we study the reconstruction of a network topology from the values of its betweenness centrality, a measure of the influence of each of its nodes in the diss...
Real Options for Project Schedules (ROPS) has three recursive sampling/optimization shells. An outer Adaptive Simulated Annealing (ASA) optimization shell optimizes parameters of ...
In order to maintain a reliable and economic electric power supply, the maintenance of power plants is becoming increasingly important. In this paper, a formulation that enables a...
