Staffing and scheduling optimization in large multiskill call centers is time-consuming, mainly because it requires lengthy simulations to evaluate performance measures and their ...
We present the Priority R-tree, or PR-tree, which is the first R-tree variant that always answers a window query using O((N/B)1-1/d + T/B) I/Os, where N is the number of ddimensio...

Physical agents (such as wheeled vehicles, UAVs, hovercraft, etc.) with simple control systems are often sensitive to changes in their physical design and control parameters. As s...

Time skewing is a compile-time optimization that can provide arbitrarily high cache hit rates for a class of iterative calculations, given a sufficient number of time steps and s...
