There has long been a competition between simulation and optimization in the modeling of problems in transportation and logistics, machine scheduling and similar highdimensional p...
Traditional multiple query optimization methods focus on identifying common subexpressions in sets of relational queries and on constructing their global execution plans. In this p...
We address a problem in air traffic management: scheduling flights in order to minimize the maximum number of aircraft that simultaneously lie within a single air traffic control ...

This paper deals with the job-shop scheduling problem with sequencedependent setup times. We propose a new method to solve the makespan minimization problem to optimality. The met...
Parallel dataflow programming frameworks such as Map-Reduce are increasingly being used for large scale data analysis on computing clouds. It is therefore becoming important to a...
