We present a novel distributed algorithm for the maximal independent set (MIS) problem.1 On bounded-independence graphs (BIG) our deterministic algorithm finishes in O(log n) time,...
IEEE 802.16 employs TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) as the access method and the policy for selecting scheduled links in a given time slot will definitely impact the system ...
Abstract--Packet matching plays a critical role in the performance of many network devices and a tremendous amount of research has already been invested to come up with better opti...
— We describe a solution procedure for a special case of the periodic vehicle routing problem (PVRP). Operation managers at an auto parts in the north of Spain described the opti...
The pilot method as a meta-heuristic is a tempered greedy method aimed at obtaining better solutions while avoiding the greedy trap by looking ahead for each possible choice. Repea...
