We address in this paper the problem of jointly scheduling hard periodic tasks and soft aperiodic events using the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ). We present the programm...
In this paper we consider the problem of computing the expected hitting time to a vertex for random walks on graphs. We give a method for computing an upper bound on the expected ...
In this paper we define the Weak Mutual Exclusion (WME) problem. Analogously to classical Distributed Mutual Exclusion (DME), WME serializes the accesses to a shared resource. Di...
It is typical for the EA community that theory follows experiments. Most theoretical approaches use some model of the considered evolutionary algorithm (EA) but there is also some ...

The problem addressed in this work is to develop a comprehensive mathematical programming model for the efficient scheduling of oil-refinery operations. Our approach is first to d...
