The traditional (active) reliability redundancy allocation problem (RRAP) is used to maximize system reliability by determining the redundancy and reliability variables in each subsystem to satisfy the volume, cost, and weight constraints.…
Failure is inevitable in scientific computing. As scientific applications and facilities increase their scales over the last decades, finding the root cause of a failure can be very complex or at times nearly impossible. Different…
A new approach to solving a large class of factorable nonlinear programming (NLP) problems to global optimality is presented in this paper. Unlike the traditional strategy of partitioning the decision-variable space employed in many…
As the number of resources on chip multiprocessors (CMPs) increases, the complexity of how to best allocate these resources increases drastically. Because the higher number of applications makes the interaction and impacts of various memory…
A hybrid network is a static (electronic) network that is augmented with optical switches. The Reconfigurable Routing Problem (RRP) in hybrid networks is the problem of finding settings for the optical switches augmenting a static network…
Many research groups aspire to make data and code FAIR and reproducible, yet struggle because the data and code life cycles are disconnected, executable environments are often missing from published work, and technical skill requirements…
The Location-Routing Problem (LRP), which combines the challenges of facility (depot) locating and vehicle route planning, is critically constrained by the reliance on predefined depot candidates, limiting the solution space and potentially…
This paper discusses distributed approaches for the solution of random convex programs (RCP). RCPs are convex optimization problems with a (usually large) number N of randomly extracted constraints; they arise in several applicative areas,…
Serial-parallel redundancy is a reliable way to ensure service and systems will be available in cloud computing. That method involves making copies of the same system or program, with only one remaining active. When an error occurs, the…
We consider vehicle-routing problems (VRPs) that incorporate the notion of {\em regret} of a client, which is a measure of the waiting time of a client relative to its shortest-path distance from the depot. Formally, we consider both the…
In container terminal yards, the Container Rehandling Problem (CRP) involves rearranging containers between stacks under specific operational rules, and it is a pivotal optimization challenge in intelligent container scheduling systems.…
Logistics and transport are core of many industrial and business processes. One of the most promising segments in the field is optimisation of vehicle routes. Scientific effort is focused primarily on algorithms developed in simplified…
Generalized Nested Rollout Policy Adaptation (GNRPA) is a Monte Carlo search algorithm for optimizing a sequence of choices. We propose to improve on GNRPA by avoiding too deterministic policies that find again and again the same sequence…
