From a rare events perspective, scheduling disciplines that work well under light (exponential) tailed workload distributions do not perform well under heavy (power) tailed worklo...
Formula One motor racing is a rich sport that spends millions on research and development of highly optimized cars. Here we describe the use of a genetic algorithm to optimize 66 s...
