Parallel processing networks, even full crossbars, that only implement point-to-point and multicast message passing are inefficient for collective communications because multiple ...
Multicast capability can be incorporated into any interconnection networks by using a general packet replication scheme previously proposed in [4]. The network can then be used fo...
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are becoming ubiquitous. Almost every device today has a controller that reads inputs through sensors, does some processing and then performs actions t...
We propose a computer-aided methodology to automatically generate time optimal production schemes for chemical batch plants operating in multi-batch mode. Our approach is based on ...
This paper, in the first chapter summarizes the state of the art in SCM, showing the evolution along the last 25 years. Chapter 2 shows the current issues and current research wor...
