This paper presents the design, implementation, and the first experimental results of an architecture for autonomous demand-side load management (ADSM) syste...

A minimum equicut of an edge-weighted graph is a partition of the nodes of the graph into two sets of equal size such that the sum of the weights of ed...

Facility layout is a well-known operations research problem that arises in numerous areas of applications. The multi-row facility layout problem is concerne...

This paper presents a system architecture for demand side load management in the Smart Grid, which is composed of three main modules for admission control, l...

The maximum-stable-set and maximum-clique problems are operations research problems that arise in numerous areas such as social networking, electrical engin...

We present a new primal-dual interior-point algorithm for linear programming problems with equality and inequality constraints. The inequality constraints ar...

This paper explores new connections between the satisfiability problem and semidefinite programming. We show how the process of resolution in satisfiability...

This chapter provides an overview of cone optimization models for facility layout and VLSI floorplanning problems. We focus on two classes of problems to w...

We present a three-stage method using mathematical-programming techniques for finding high-quality solutions to the multi-floor facility layout problem. The...

Semidefinite programming has been used successfully to build hierarchies of convex relaxations to approximate polynomial programs. This approach rapidly beco...

The presence of symmetry is common in certain types of scheduling problems. Symmetry can occur when one is scheduling a collection of jobs on multiple identi...
