While numerous power optimization techniques have been at all levels of design process abstractions for electronic components, until now, power minimization in mixed mechanical-el...
Computer aided NC-path generation of five-axis milling using a standard CAM-system does usually not take machine dynamics and kinematics into account. This results in machine move...
We address the problem of finding parallel plans for SQL queries using the two-phase approach of join ordering and query rewrite (JOQR) followed by parallelization. We focus on t...
We consider the problem of selecting the best system using simulation-based ordinal optimization. This problem has been studied mostly in the context of light-tailed distributions...
The Cross-Entropy (CE) method is a modern and effective optimization method well suited to parallel implementations. There is a vast array of problems today, some of which are hig...
