As the quantity and complexity of information processed by software systems increase, large-scale software systems have an increasing requirement for high-performance distributed computing systems. With the acceleration of the Internet in…

This paper investigates the problem of assigning shipping requests to ad hoc couriers in the context of crowdsourced urban delivery. The shipping requests are spatially distributed each with a limited time window between the earliest time…

The Aircraft Landing Problem (ALP) is one of the challenging problems in aircraft transportation and management. The challenge is to schedule the arriving aircraft in a sequence so that the cost and delays are optimized. There are various…

Optimizing data transfers is critical for improving job performance in data-parallel frameworks. In the hybrid data center with both wired and wireless links, reconfigurable wireless links can provide additional bandwidth to speed up job…

The real-time Railway Traffic Management Problem (rtRTMP) is a challenging optimisation problem in railway transportation. It involves the efficient management of train movements while minimising delay propagation caused by unforeseen…

Many complex activities of production cycles, such as quality control or fault analysis, require highly experienced specialists to perform various operations on (semi)finished products using different tools. In practical scenarios, the…

This paper addresses a realistic home health care and home care (HHC\&HC) problem which has become increasingly complex in the face of demographic aging and post-COVID-19 disruptions. The HHC\&HC sector, as the essential component of modern…

The considered problem is how to optimally allocate a set of jobs to technicians of different skills such that the number of technicians of each skill does not exceed the number of persons with that skill designation. The key motivation is…

Multi-vehicle routing problem with soft time windows (MVRPSTW) is an indispensable constituent in urban logistics distribution systems. Over the past decade, numerous methods for MVRPSTW have been proposed, but most are based on heuristic…

Extreme dynamic heterogeneity in high performance computing systems and the convergence of traditional HPC with new simulation, analysis, and data science approaches impose increasingly more complex requirements on resource and job…

One of the major challenges in the coordination of large, open, collaborative, and commercial vehicle fleets is dynamic task allocation. Self-concerned individually rational vehicle drivers have both local and global objectives, which…

This paper proposes a novel Variational Graph-to-Scheduler (VG2S) framework for solving the Job Shop Scheduling Problem (JSSP), a critical task in manufacturing that directly impacts operational efficiency and resource utilization.…

In this paper, we propose reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) networks that can utilise both advantages of UAV's agility and RIS's reflection for enhancing the network's performance. To aim at…

Multi-cloud systems facilitate a cost-efficient and geographically-distributed deployment of microservice-based applications by temporary leasing virtual nodes with diverse pricing models. To preserve the cost-efficiency of multi-cloud…

This paper investigates a smart spectrum-sharing framework for reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-aided local high-quality wireless networks (LHQWNs) within a mobile network operator (MNO) ecosystem. Although RISs are often considered…

Greater capabilities of mobile communications technology enable interconnection of on-site medical care at a scale previously unavailable. However, embedding such critical, demanding tasks into the already complex infrastructure of mobile…

We consider a task graph mapped on a set of homogeneous processors. We aim at minimizing the energy consumption while enforcing two constraints: a prescribed bound on the execution time (or makespan), and a reliability threshold. Dynamic…

Digital twins (DTs) are envisioned as a key enabler of the cyber-physical continuum in future wireless networks. However, efficient deployment and synchronization of DTs in dynamic multi-access edge computing (MEC) environments remains…

The Vehicle Routing Problem with Time-Windows (VRPTW) is an important problem in allocating resources on networks in time and space. We present in this paper a Deterministic Annealing (DA)-based approach to solving the VRPTW with its…

Workforce Scheduling and Routing Problems (WSRP) are very common in many practical domains, and usually, have a number of objectives. Illumination algorithms such as Map-Elites (ME) have recently gained traction in application to {\em…
