In a recent paper, Savas, Batta and Nagi [14] consider the optimal placement of a finite-sized facility in the presence of arbitrarily-shaped barriers under rectilinear travel. T...
Power efficiency is a capital issue in the study of mobile wireless nodes owing to constraints on their battery size and weight. In practice, especially for low-power nodes, it is ...
Higher-dimensional orthogonal packing problems have a wide range of practical applications, including packing, cutting, and scheduling. In the context of a branch-and-bound framewo...
We consider the context of decision support for schedule modification after the computation off-line of a predictive optimal (or near optimal) schedule. The purpose of this work i...
Beamforming and relaying are two methods of improving wireless system performance. Until now, these techniques have been considered separately. In this paper, a single source (base...
