The pilot method as a meta-heuristic is a tempered greedy method aimed at obtaining better solutions while avoiding the greedy trap by looking ahead for each possible choice. Repea...
: We consider in this paper a two-machine flowshop scheduling problem in which the first machine processes jobs individually while the second machine processes jobs in batches. The...
Dynamic programming, branch-and-bound, and constraint programming are the standard solution principles for nding optimal solutions to machine scheduling problems. We propose a new ...
This article goes to the foundations of Statistical Inference through a review of Carnap's logic theory of induction. From this point of view, it brings another solution to t...
The paper discusses ITS architectures in terms of patterns that exist within them. The concept of patterns has received surprisingly little attention so far from researchers in the...
We show that using max-algebraic techniques it is possible to generate the set of all solutions to a system of inequalities xi xj bij; i; j = 1; :::; n using n generators. This e
Video on Demand (VoD) is a technology used to provide a number of programs to a number of users on request. In developing a VoD system, a fundamental problem is load balancing, wh...
: The internet is an unlimited growing and most comfortable information and communication base. In this context, web portals on the internet play an important role created for comb...
address (at least three) common problems, and the solution is then abstracted into a pattern. Antipatterns, on the other hand, identify common problems with solutions, and then sho...
The flow logic approach to static analysis amounts to specifying the admissibility of solutions to analysis problems; when specified using formulae in stratified alternation-fr...
