A rectilinear Steiner arborescence (RSA) is a tree, whose nodes include a prescribed set of points, termed the vertices, in the first quadrant of the Cartesian plane, and whose tr...
This paper discusses the issues that arise in the design and implementation of an industrialstrength evolutionary-based system for the optimization of the monthly work schedules f...
In the design of communication networks, robustness against failures in single links or nodes is an important issue. This paper proposes a new approach for the NP-complete edge-bic...
This paper compares the efficiency of using a standard direct-manipulation graphical user interface (GUI) with that of using the QuickSet pen/voice multimodal interface for suppor...
