Continuous state spaces and stochastic, switching dynamics characterize a number of rich, realworld domains, such as robot navigation across varying terrain. We describe a reinfor...

This paper presents a new algorithm for enhancing the efficiency of simulation-based optimisation using local search and neural network metamodels. The local search strategy is ba...
Biogas plants are reliable sources of energy based on renewable materials including organic waste. There is a high demand from industry to run these plants efficiently, which lead...
We consider the problem of scheduling the mixed workload of both sporadic (on-line) and periodic (off-line) tasks on variable voltage processor to optimize power consumption while...
We indicate strong non-approximability factors for central problems: N1/4 for Max Clique; N1/10 for Chromatic Number; and 66/65 for Max 3SAT. Underlying the Max Clique result is a...
