' An efficient assignment of tasks to the processors is imperative for achieving a fast job turnaround time in a parallel or distributed enviornment. The assignment problem is...
Given a set of keyphrases, we analyze how Web queries with these phrases can be formed that, taken altogether, return a specified number of hits. The use case of this problem is a ...
We discuss how constraint programming can improve the performance of a column generation solution process for the NP-hard Tail Assignment problem in aircraft scheduling. Combining...
In this paper, we deal with the large-scale divisible load problem studied in [12]. We show how to reduce this problem to a classical preemptive scheduling problem on a single mac...
