Generally, evolutionary algorithms require a large number of evaluations of the objective function in order to obtain a good solution. This paper presents a simple approach to sav...
Staffing and scheduling optimization in large multiskill call centers is time-consuming, mainly because it requires lengthy simulations to evaluate performance measures and their ...
Platform-based design represents the most widely used approach to design System-On-Chip (SOC) applications. In this context, the Design Space Exploration (DSE) phase consists of o...
We study the convergence of Markov Decision Processes made of a large number of objects to optimization problems on ordinary differential equations (ODE). We show that the optimal...
In the field of strong-stability-preserving time discretizations, a number of researchers have considered using both upwind and downwind approximations for the same derivative, in...
