This paper uses trace-driven simulations to evaluate the performance of different cache management techniques for multi-level Web proxy caching hierarchies. In particular, the exp...
In this paper, we consider semiconductor manufacturing processes that can be characterized by a diverse product mix, heterogeneous parallel machines, sequence-dependent setup time...
We study an iterative cutting-plane algorithm on an integer program, for minimizing the staffing costs of a multiskill call center subject to service-level requirements which are e...
In this work we try to draw an interdisciplinary framework aimed to integrate a socio-cognitive approach with organizational research about industrial clusters, in order to invest...
