The traveling salesman problem with time windows is known to be a really difficult benchmark for optimization algorithms. In this paper, we are interested in the minimization of th...
Abstract. A methodology is presented for tackling mixed-integer nonlinear optimization problems by local search, in particular large-scale real-life problems. This methodology is i...
Abstract. Electronic embedded systems designers aim at finding a tradeoff between cost and power consumption. As cache memory management has been shown to have a significant imp...
Symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) virtual machines (VMs) allow users to take advantage of a multiprocessor infrastructure. Despite the advantage, SMP VMs can cause synchronization l...
Although they are helpful in many cases, state-of-the-art bug reporting systems may impose excessive overhead on users, leak private information, or provide little help to the dev...
This paper presents Keypad, an auditing file system for theftprone devices, such as laptops and USB sticks. Keypad provides two important properties. First, Keypad supports fine...

Mobile applications are becoming increasingly ubiquitous and provide ever richer functionality on mobile devices. At the same time, such devices often enjoy strong connectivity wi...
The high replication cost of Byzantine fault-tolerance (BFT) methods has been a major barrier to their widespread adoption in commercial distributed applications. We present ZZ, a...
