When using Bayesian networks, practitioners often express constraints among variables by conditioning a common child node to induce the desired distribution. For example, an ‘or...
We address distributed real-time applications represented by systems of non-preemptive dependent periodic tasks. This system is described by an acyclic directed graph. Because the...
A new evolutionary method named “Genetic Network Programming with Control Nodes, GNPcn” has been proposed and applied to determine the timing of buying and selling stocks. GNP...

Given a directed acyclic graph with labeled vertices, we consider the problem of finding the most common label sequences ("traces") among all paths in the graph (of some...
We consider a special subgraph of a weighted directed graph: one comprising only the k heaviest edges incoming to each vertex. We show that the maximum weight branching in this su...
