Though there exist some rules of thumb for design of good models for solving constraint satisfaction problems, the modeling process still belongs more to art than to science. Moreo...
Abstract. To support battery powered mobile broadband wireless access devices efficiently, IEEE 802.16e defines a sleep mode operation for conserving the power of mobile terminals...
We consider the problem of assigning prices to goods of fixed marginal cost in order to maximize revenue in the presence of single-minded customers. We focus in particular on the...
