Many combinatorial problems can be modelled as Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). Solving a general CSP is known to be NP-complete, so closure and heuristic search are usual...

This paper deals with scheduling divisible load applications on star networks, in presence of return messages. This work is a follow-on of [6, 7], where the same problem was consi...
This paper describes a way to manage the modeling and analysis of Scheduled Maintenance Systems (SMS) within an analytically tractable context. We chose a significant case study h...
— Instability in packet-switching networks is normally associated with overload conditions, since queueing network models show that, in simple configurations, only overload gene...
