Abstract. The practical utility of optimization technologies is often impacted by factors that reflect how these tools are used in practice, including whether various real-world c...

In this paper, it is shown that the Feedback Vertex Set problem on unweighted, undirected graphs has a kernel of cubic size. I.e., a polynomial time algorithm is described, that, w...
We consider the filter decomposition problem in supporting coarse-grained pipelined parallelism. This form of parallelism is suitable for data-driven applications in scenarios wh...
Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) provide a general framework for AI planning, but they lack the structure for representing real world planning problems in a...
We address in this paper the problem of scheduling for multiprocessor real-time systems with hard and soft tasks. Utility functions are associated to soft tasks to capture their r...
