We present a technique to associate to stochastic programs written in stochastic Concurrent Constraint Programming a semantics in terms of a lattice of hybrid automata. The aim of ...
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 ...
Abstract— The deployment of converged services of TV, telephony, and Internet access over IP entails a significant initial investment for service providers. This investment is n...
In both the quality improvement and the design of a product, the engineering characteristics affecting product performance are primarily identified and improved to optimize custom...
