This paper considers a project scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing resource availability costs, taking into account a deadline for the project and precedence relat...
Self-organising systems are a popular engineering concept for designing decentralised autonomic computing systems. They are able to find solutions in complex and versatile problem ...
Backbones of propositional theories are literals that are true in every model. Backbones have been used for characterizing the hardness of decision and optimization problems. Moreo...
Markovian processes have long been used to model stochastic environments. Reinforcement learning has emerged as a framework to solve sequential planning and decision-making proble...
We consider the single item lot-sizing problem with capacities that are non-decreasing over time. When the cost function is i) non-speculative or Wagner-Whitin (for instance, cons...
