This paper addresses a surgery rooms scheduling problem. The problem is modeled as a parallel machine scheduling problem with sequence dependent setup times and an objective of mi...
Long waiting times for emergency operations increase a patient’s risk of postoperative complications and morbidity. Reserving Operating Room (OR) capacity is a common technique t...

We present a process algebra with conditionally distributed discrete-time delays and generally-distributed stochastic delays. The treatment allows for expansion laws for the paral...
—In distributed computing systems (DCSs) where server nodes can fail permanently with nonzero probability, the system performance can be assessed by means of the service reliabil...
We explore camera scheduling and energy allocation strategies for lifetime optimization in image sensor networks. For the application scenarios that we consider, visual coverage ov...
