Millions of containers are stowed every week with goods worth billions of dollars, but container vessel stowage is an all but neglected combinatorial optimization problem. In this ...
Abstract. We present a technique that achieves local contrast enhancement by representing it as an optimization problem. For this, we first introduce a scalar objective function th...
Localization is an important and extensively studied problem in ad-hoc wireless sensor networks. Given the connectivity graph of the sensor nodes, along with additional local info...

The task of trajectory design of autonomous vehicles is typically two-fold. First, it needs to take into account the intrinsic dynamics of the vehicle, which are sometimes termed ...
We propose an improved restart strategy for randomized backtrack search, and evaluate its performance by comparing to other heuristic and stochastic search techniques for solving r...
