The resource-constrained project scheduling problem with time windows (RCPSP/max) is an important generalization of a number of well studied scheduling problems. In this paper, we...
We give a review of various aspects of boosting, clarifying the issues through a few simple results, and relate our work and that of others to the minimax paradigm of statistics. ...
The NEWUOA which belongs to the class of DerivativeFree optimization algorithms is benchmarked on the BBOB2009 noisy testbed. A multistart strategy is applied with a maximum numbe...
In the independent component analysis, polynomial functions of higher order statistics are often used as cost functions. However, such cost functions usually have many local minim...
Energy usage has been an important concern in recent research on online job scheduling, where processors are allowed to vary the speed dynamically so as to save energy whenever pos...
