Abstract-- We consider the problem of controlling a discretetime piecewise affine (PWA) system from a specification given as a Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) formula over linear predi...
One challenge for research in constraint-based scheduling has been to produce scalable solution procedures under fairly general representational assumptions. Quite often, the comp...
This paper studies the use of decomposition techniques to quickly find high-quality solutions to large-scale vehicle routing problems with time windows. It considers an adaptive d...
ngly better objective function value until an optimal solution is reached. From an abstract point of view, an augmentation problem is solved in each iteration. That is, given a fea...
The preservation of digital artifacts represents an unanswered challenge for the modern information society: XML and its query languages provide an effective environment to addre...
