This work intends to deal with the optimal kinematic synthesis problem of parallel manipulators under a unified framework. Observing that regular (e.g., hyper-rectangular) workspac...
—This paper derives the optimal search time and the optimal search cost that can be achieved in unstructured peer-topeer networks when the demand pattern exhibits clustering (i.e...
Abstract. We propose a simple, general, randomized technique to reduce certain geometric optimization problems to their corresponding decision problems. These reductions increase t...
In factory automation, production line scheduling entails a number of competing issues. Finding optimal configurations often requires use of local search techniques. Local search l...
In this paper we consider the problem of searching for a node or an object (i.e., piece of data, file, etc.) in a large network. Applications of this problem include searching fo...
