On a World Wide Web-Based Planning Support System
Motivated by the wavelength division multiplexing in all-optical networks, we consider the problem of finding an optimal (with respect to the least possible number of wavelengths) set of internally node disjoint dipaths connecting all pairs of distinct nodes in the binary -dimensional hypercube, where . This system of dipaths constitutes a routing protocol that remains functional in the presence of up to faults (of nodes and/or links). The problem of constructing such protocols for general...
Temporal Constraint Networks are a well-defined, natural and efficient formalism for representing temporal knowledge based on metric temporal constraints. They support the representation of both metric and some qualitative temporal relations and are provided with efficient algorithms based on CSP techniques. Recently, a generalization based on fuzzy sets has been proposed in order to cope with vagueness in temporal relations. In this paper we generalize some earlier definitions for Fuzzy Temporal...
We study the problem of scheduling jobs on a serial batching machine to minimize total tardiness. Jobs of the same batch start and are completed simultaneously and the length of a batch equals the sum of the processing times of its jobs. When a new batch starts, a constant setup time occurs. This problem s-batch is known to be NP-Hard in the ordinary sense. In this paper we show that it is solvable in pseudopolynomial time by dynamic programming.

Retrial queueing systems are characterized by the requirement that customers finding the service area busy must join the retrial group and reapply for service at random intervals. This paper deals with the M/G/1 retrial queue subjected to breakdowns. We use its stochastic decomposition property to approximate the model performance in the case of general retrial times.

This paper studies the computational complexity of the proper interval colored graph problem (PICG), when the input graph is a colored caterpillar, parameterized by hair length. In order prove our result we establish a close relationship between the PICG and a graph layout problem the proper colored layout problem (PCLP). We show a dichotomy: the PICG and the PCLP are NP-complete for colored caterpillars of hair length ≥2, while both problems are in P for colored caterpillars of hair length <2. For...
Motivated by the wavelength division multiplexing in all-optical networks, we consider the problem of finding an optimal (with respect to the least possible number of wavelengths) set of ƒ+1 internally node disjoint dipaths connecting all pairs of distinct nodes in the binary r-dimensional hypercube, where 0 ≤ ƒ < r. This system of dipaths constitutes a routing protocol that remains functional in the presence of up to ƒ faults (of nodes and/or links). The problem of constructing such...
