We improve the resistance of gossip-based multicast to (Distributed) Denial of Service (DoS) attacks using dynamic local adaptations at each node. Each node estimates the current ...
This paper addresses a novel linear programming based approach to optimize the choice of the encoding parameters for the MPEG-4 AAC audio codec. Current techniques solve the encod...
In this paper, we present a formal analysis of the constraints of the scheduling problem, and evaluate the structure of the scheduling polytope described by those constraints. Pol...
A soft global constraint SOFTPREC has been proposed recently for solving optimisation problems involving precedence relations. In this paper we present new pruning rules for this g...
