In this paper, we present an online planning-scheduling approach for battery-powered autonomous aerial robots. The approach consists of simultaneously planning a coverage path and scheduling onboard computational tasks. We further derive a…
In order to ensure the robust actuation of a plan, execution must be adaptable to unexpected situations in the world and to exogenous events. This is critical in domains in which committing to a wrong ordering of actions can cause the plan…
We introduce and study a class of optimization problems we coin replenishment problems with fixed turnover times: a very natural model that has received little attention in the literature. Nodes with capacity for storing a certain commodity…
Scheduling in the factory setting is compounded by computational complexity and temporal uncertainty. Together, these two factors guarantee that the process of constructing an optimal schedule will be costly and the chances of executing…
A novel method is presented and explored within the framework of Potts neural networks for solving optimization problems with a non-trivial topology, with the airline crew scheduling problem as a target application. The key ingredient to…
Aircraft and crew are two major resources that ensure the smooth operations of airlines. However, with the anticipated growth in the aviation industry, the crew resource is predicted to be insufficient worldwide and has been one of the…
Due to the emergence of highly dynamic multimedia applications there is a need for flexible platforms and run-time scheduling support for embedded systems. Dynamic Reconfigurable Hardware (DRHW) is a promising candidate to provide this…
Booking control problems are sequential decision-making problems that occur in the domain of revenue management. More precisely, freight booking control focuses on the problem of deciding to accept or reject bookings: given a limited…
The growing renewable energy sources have posed significant challenges to traditional power scheduling. It is difficult for operators to obtain accurate day-ahead forecasts of renewable generation, thereby requiring the future scheduling…
In this work, we consider a scheduling problem faced by production companies with large electricity consumption. Due to the contract with the electric utility, the production companies are obligated to comply with the total energy…
The parallel machine scheduling problem has been a popular topic for many years due to its theoretical and practical importance. This paper addresses the robust makespan optimization problem on unrelated parallel machine scheduling with…
In this paper, we study a new Workforce Scheduling and Routing Problem, denoted Multiperiod Workforce Scheduling and Routing Problem with Dependent Tasks. In this problem, customers request services from a company. Each service is composed…
The availability of downstream resources plays is critical in planning the admission of elective surgery patients. The most crucial one is inpatient beds. To ensure bed availability, hospitals may use machine learning (ML) models to predict…
Scheduling problems in manufacturing, logistics and project management have frequently been modeled using the framework of Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problems with minimum and maximum time lags (RCPSP/max). Due to the…
In business process simulation, resource availability is typically modeled by assigning a calendar to each resource, e.g., Monday-Friday, 9:00-18:00. Resources are assumed to be always available during each time slot in their availability…
We address the aircraft conflict resolution problem under trajectory prediction uncertainty. We consider that aircraft velocity vectors may be perturbed due to weather effects, such as wind, or measurement errors. Such perturbations may…
We consider a distributed computing network consisting of a master and multiple workers processing tasks of different types. The master is running multiple applications. Each application stochastically generates real-time jobs with a strict…
In database query processing, actual run-time conditions (e.g., actual selectivities and actual available memory) very often differ from compile-time expectations of run-time conditions (e.g., estimated predicate selectivities and…
As predictive models are increasingly being deployed in high-stakes decision making (e.g., loan approvals), there has been growing interest in post hoc techniques which provide recourse to affected individuals. These techniques generate…
This paper proposes a robust regret control framework in which the performance baseline adapts to the realization of system uncertainty. The plant is modeled as a discrete-time, uncertain linear time-invariant system with real-parametric…
