—In this paper we propose the method of task merging and idle period clustering for dynamic power management (DPM) in a real-time system with multiple processing elements. We sho...
Resource leveling is a variant of resource-constrained project scheduling in which a non-regular objective function, the resource availability cost, is to be minimized. We present ...
To achieve required sensing coverage for a very long period of time is an important and challenging problem in sensor network design. Recently, Tong et al. have proposed a node rep...
Workflows in the service industry sometimes need to deal with multi-fold increases in customer demand within a short period of time. Such spikes in service demand may be caused by...
— We consider systems of mobile robots that execute a transportation task and periodically recharge from a docking station. The location of the docking station has a considerable...
