In this paper, we propose a manpower allocation model with time windows which is of practical interest to serviceman scheduling operations. Specifically, this problem originates f...
This work introduces a combinatorial optimization problem called Mars Express Memory Dumping Problem (Mex-Mdp), which arises in the European Space Agency program Mars Express. It c...
In this paper, we describe an algorithm and implementation of locality optimizations for architectures with instruction sets such as Intel’s SSE and Motorola’s AltiVec that su...
ToonTalkTM is a general-purpose concurrent programming system in which the source code is animated and the programming environment is like a me. Every abstract computational aspec...
As many real-world problems involve user preferences, costs, or probabilities, constraint satisfaction has been extended to optimization by generalizing hard constraints to soft co...
