Event schema provides a conceptual, structural and formal language to represent events and model the world event knowledge. Unfortunately, it is challenging to automatically induce high-quality and high-coverage event schemas due to the…
We consider the problem of discovering sequential patterns from event-based spatio-temporal data. The dataset is described by a set of event types and their instances. Based on the given dataset, the task is to discover all significant…
We consider an online preemptive scheduling problem where jobs with deadlines arrive sporadically. A commitment requirement is imposed such that the scheduler has to either accept or decline a job immediately upon arrival. The scheduler's…
In this paper, we investigate the discount allocation problem in social networks. It has been reported that 40\% of consumers will share an email offer with their friend and 28\% of consumers will share deals via social media platforms.…
Social event detection (SED) is a task focused on identifying specific real-world events and has broad applications across various domains. It is integral to many mobile applications with social features, including major platforms like…
Whether teaching in a classroom or a Massive Online Open Course it is crucial to present the material in a way that benefits the audience as a whole. We identify two important tasks to solve towards this objective, 1 group students so that…
We introduce a parallel machine scheduling problem in which the processing times of jobs are not given in advance but are determined by a system of linear constraints. The objective is to minimize the makespan, i.e., the maximum job…
Scheduling is a perennial-and often challenging-problem for many groups. Existing tools are mostly static, showing an identical set of choices to everyone, regardless of the current status of attendees' inputs and preferences. In this…
The active-time scheduling problem considers the problem of scheduling preemptible jobs with windows (release times and deadlines) on a parallel machine that can schedule up to $g$ jobs during each timestep. The goal in the active-time…
Job Shop Scheduling (JSS) is one of the most studied combinatorial optimization problems. It involves scheduling a set of jobs with predefined processing constraints on a set of machines to achieve a desired objective, such as minimizing…
This paper overviews the state of the art, research challenges, and future opportunities in an emerging research direction: Social Sensing based Edge Computing (SSEC). Social sensing has emerged as a new sensing application paradigm where…
In this paper, we focus on the solution of a hard single machine scheduling problem by new heuristic algorithms embedding techniques from machine learning field and scheduling theory. These heuristics transform an instance of the hard…
Incorporating renewable energy sources (RESs) into manufacturing systems has been an active research area in order to address many challenges originating from the unpredictable nature of RESs such as photovoltaics.In the energy-aware…
By adequate employing of complex event processing (CEP), valuable information can be extracted from the underlying complex system and used in controlling and decision situations. An example application area is management of IT systems for…
Process mining supports the analysis of the actual behavior and performance of business processes using event logs. % such as, e.g., sales transactions recorded by an ERP system. An essential requirement is that every event in the log must…
Motivated by the need of {\em social distancing} during a pandemic, we consider an approach to schedule the visitors of a facility (e.g., a general store). Our algorithms take input from the citizens and schedule the store's discrete…
The design space of networked embedded systems is very large, posing challenges to the optimisation of such platforms when it comes to support applications with real-time guarantees. Recent research has shown that a number of inter-related…
In large scale collective decision making, social choice is a normative study of how one ought to design a protocol for reaching consensus. However, in instances where the underlying decision space is too large or complex for ordinal…
This technical report describes the systems submitted to the DCASE2022 challenge task 3: sound event localization and detection (SELD). The task aims to detect occurrences of sound events and specify their class, furthermore estimate their…
Most recommender systems (RS) research assumes that a user's utility can be maximized independently of the utility of the other agents (e.g., other users, content providers). In realistic settings, this is often not true---the dynamics of…
