A well-studied problem in the electric power industry is that of optimally scheduling preventative maintenance of power generating units within a power plant. We show how these pr...
Heuristic search procedures are useful in a large number of problems of practical importance. Such procedures operate by searching several paths in a search space at the same time...
The timetabling problem consists in fixing a sequence of meetings between teachers and students in a prefixed period of time (typically a week), satisfying a set of constraints of ...
Abstract. The problem of curriculum-based course timetabling is studied in this work. In addition to formally defining the problem, we present a hybrid solution algorithm (Adaptiv...
In this paper we propose an authenticated key agreement, which works in a braid group. We prove that our protocol meet the security attributes under the assumption that the Conjug...
