Software components for distance and just-in-time (JIT) learning are an increasingly common method of encouraging reuse and facilitating the development process[58], but no analog...
This review paper presents an overview of the current state of the art in Problem Solving Environments (PSE). PSE provides integrated human-friendly innovative computational servi...
We improve the approximation ratios for two optimization problems in planar graphs. For node-weighted Steiner tree, a classical network-optimization problem, the best achievable ap...

The firing rule of Petri nets relies on a residuation operation for the commutative monoid of natural numbers. We identify a class of residuated commutative monoids, called Petri ...
The question of nonemptiness of the intersection of a nested sequence of closed sets is fundamental in a number of important optimization topics, including the existence of optima...
