In many applications, such as decision support, negotiation, planning, scheduling, etc., one needs to express requirements that can only be partially satisfied. In order to expres...
We present a memetic algorithm that dynamically optimizes the design of a wireless sensor network towards energy conservation and extension of the life span of the network, taking ...

In this paper, we investigate whether a constant round Lasserre Semi-definite Programming (SDP) relaxation might give a good approximation to the UNIQUE GAMES problem. We show tha...
NASA is, with the rest of industry, turning to product-line engineering to reduce costs and improve quality by effectively managing reuse. Experience in industry has shown that it...
