Mobile code carried by a mobile agent can automatically travel to several data sources in order to complete a designated program. Traditionally, most mobile agent systems [7][8][1...
Good data layouts improve cache and TLB performance of object-oriented software, but unfortunately, selecting an optimal data layout a priori is NP-hard. This paper introduces layo...
Both software applications and their development environment are becoming more and more distributed. This trend impacts not only the way software computes, but also how it looks. T...
In this work, we address investment decisions in production systems by using real options. As is standard in literature, the stochastic variable is assumed to be normally distribu...
The Train Timetabling Problem (TTP) consists in finding a train schedule on a railway network that satisfies some operational constraints and maximizes a profit function which c...
