Chemical supply chain networks provide large opportunities for cost reductions through the redesign of the flow of material from producer to customer. In this paper we present a m...
In this paper, we consider the problem of allocating bandwidth to two queues with arbitrary arrival processes, so as to minimize the total expected packet holding cost over a finit...
: Higher education courses are increasingly created as student organized collections of interrelated modules. At the same time, frequent change of subject matter and knowledge in i...
Though inevitable for effective cost-based query rewriting, the derivation of meaningful cardinality estimates has remained a notoriously hard problem in the context of XQuery. By...

An optimizing compiler has a hard time to generate a code which will perform at top speed for an arbitrary data set size. In general, the low level optimization process must take i...
