Distributed computing is increasingly important at a time when the doubling of the number of transistors on a processor every 18 months no longer translates in a doubling of speed ...
Abstract. This paper presents a simple iterated local search metaheuristic incorporating a k-opt local search (KLS), called Iterated KLS (IKLS for short), for solving the maximum c...
Abstract. To practically solve NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems, local search algorithms and their parallel implementations on PVM or MPI have been frequently discussed....
Group elevator scheduling has long been recognized as an important problem for building transportation efficiency, since unsatisfactory elevator service is one of the major complai...
Abstract. This paper presents history-dependent scheduling, a new technique for reducing the search space in the verification of cryptographic protocols. This technique allows the...
