SONET add-drop multiplexers (ADMs) are the dominant cost factor in SONET /WDM rings. The number of SONET ADMs required by a set of traffic streams is determined by the routing and...
We study the complexity of the reachability problem for a new subclass of Petri nets called simple-circuit Petri nets, which properly contains several well known subclasses such as...
XPath is a simple language for navigating an XML tree and returning a set of answer nodes. The focus in this paper is on the complexity of the containment problem for various fragm...
Inspired by air traffic control and other applications where moving objects have to be labeled, we consider the following (static) point labeling problem: given a set P of n points...
In this paper, we present a stigmergy-based algorithm for solving optimization problems with continuous variables, labeled Differential Ant-Stigmergy Algorithm (DASA). The perfor...
