The concept of flexibility-originated in the context of heat exchanger networks-is associated with a substructure which guarantees the performance of the original structure, in a given range of possible states. We extend ...

There is a need to design computational methods to support the prediction of gene regulatory networks (GRNs). Such models should offer both biologically meaningful and computationally accurate predictions which, in combination ...

Metaheuristics Algorithms are widely recognized as one of most practical approaches for Combinatorial Optimization Problems. This paper presents a comparison between two metaheuristics to solve a problem of Phase ...

In this paper, we describe our work in scheduling Argentina’s First Division professional football league, the Superliga. Following existing work in sports scheduling, we develop an integer programming model for the Superliga ...

Reward-based scheduling of real-time systems of periodic, preemptable, and independent tasks with mandatory and optional parts in homogeneous multiprocessors with energy considerations is a problem that has not been analyzed ...
