Abstract. Based on the recent approach of Bertsimas and Sim (2004, 2003) to robust optimization in the presence of data uncertainty, we prove an easily computable and simple bound ...
High quality of security is increasingly critical for applications running on heterogeneous distributed systems. However, existing scheduling algorithms for heterogeneous distribu...
We introduce a new system performance measure due to handoff called handoff interference, which characterizes the additional interference noise induced by the handoff process. The ...
: This paper describes the implementation of a meta-heuristic optimization approach, Tabu Search (TS), for Heat Exchanger Networks (HEN) synthesis and compares this approach to oth...
We propose a novel measure of the representativeness (i.e., indicativeness or topic specificity) of a term in a given corpus. The measure embodies the idea that the distribution o...
