Assessing electric mobility and renewable energy synergy in a small New Caledonia island community
In this paper, we evaluate the synergy between variable renewable energy (VRE), electric mobility, and Vehicle to Grid (V2G) deployment for a small community...

Personnel scheduling consists in determining employee work schedules (sequences of work shifts and days off) to cover the demands of multiple jobs over a pl...
BibTeX referenceA fast dual bound for power allocation
In this paper, we propose a fast algorithm to compute a bound for the problem of optimizing the power of a number of users sharing a set of wireless chan...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the next society transformation builder. Massive AI-based applications include cloud servers, cell phones, cars, and pandemic...
BibTeX referenceThe Covering-Assignment Problem for swarm-powered ad-hoc clouds: A distributed 3D mapping use-case
The popularity of drones is rapidly increasing across the different sectors of the economy. Aerial capabilities and relatively low costs make drones the perf...
BibTeX referenceOn the interplay between self-driving cars and public transportation: A game-theoretic perspective
Cities worldwide struggle with overloaded transportation systems and their externalities, such as traffic congestion and emissions. The emerging technology o...
