IP problems characterise combinatorial optimisation problems where conventional numerical methods based on the hill-climbing technique can not be directly applied. Conventional me...
A data structure is presented for the Mergeable Dictionary abstract data type, which supports the following operations on a collection of disjoint sets of totally ordered data: Pr...
The world is increasingly dependent on critical infrastructures such as the electric power grid, water, gas, and oil transport systems, which are susceptible to cascading failures...
