We consider the channel selection problem in a cognitive radio network with heterogenous channel availabilities at different nodes. We formulate the maximum channel selection (MCS)...
A well-studied problem in the electric power industry is that of optimally scheduling preventative maintenance of power generating units within a power plant. We show how these pr...
Here we propose an efficient algorithm for computing the smallest enclosing circle whose center is constrained to lie on a query line segment. Our algorithm preprocesses a given s...
This article describes a new model of probability density function and its use in estimation of distribution algorithms. The new model, the distribution tree, has interesting prope...
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) provide customers with predictable and secure network connections over a shared network. The recently proposed hose model for VPNs allows for great...
