Abstract. Decision making in engineering design can be effectively addressed by using genetic algorithms to solve multi-objective problems. These multi-objective genetic algorithm...
A hierarchy is an arrangement of qualitative values in a tree with certain properties. Hierarchies allow to define the confusion conf(r, s) in using qualitative value r instead of ...
This paper considers the on-line traffic grooming problem in WDM-TDM switched optical mesh networks without wavelength conversion capability. The objective is to efficiently rou...
Abstract. We introduce the concept of fruitful regions in a dynamic routing context: regions that have a high potential of generating loads to be transported. The objective is to m...
In this paper, we show how to deform a planar rational cubic based on a local interpolation constraint while retaining the qualitative shape of the curve. An impedance-type, paral...
