Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the next society transformation builder. Massive AI-based applications include cloud servers, cell phones, cars, and pandemic...

In time-to-event data analysis, the main object of interest is the time elapsed between the occurrence of two ordered events, say \(E_1, E_2\). Sampling fr...

We introduce a novel ensemble learning approach which combines random partitions models through Potts clustering with a non-parametric predictor such as sha...

In the area of hydraulic power generation, there is a great deal of interest in two interdependent domains: operation and maintenance. This interdependence...

The popularity of drones is rapidly increasing across the different sectors of the economy. Aerial capabilities and relatively low costs make drones the perf...

Traditionally, the design of supply chains for humanitarian operations has been developed distinctly for the different disaster management phases, with littl...

Cities worldwide struggle with overloaded transportation systems and their externalities, such as traffic congestion and emissions. The emerging technology o...

The monthly crew pairing problem (CPP) consists of determining a least-cost set of feasible crew pairings (sequences of flights starting and ending at a crew...

This paper proposes a detailed analysis of the evolution of Canadian energy systems under some selected EMF (Energy Modeling Forum) 34 scenarios. Our analysi...

In this paper, we introduce, model and solve the pickup and delivery problem with time windows, multiple stacks, and handling operations (PDPTWMS-H). % In...

Given a set \(\mathcal{R}\) of m disjoint finite regions in the 2-dimensional plane, all regions having polygonal boundaries, and given a set `(\mathc...

The crew pairing problem is generally modelled as a set partitioning problem where the flights have to be partitioned in pairings. A pairing is a sequence of...

In this paper we study the spectral properties of the threshold graphs. In particular, we give lower and upper bounds for the largest and smallest eigenvalue...

In this paper we consider a differentiated oligopoly with two product varieties that are supplied by two groups of firms. We assume that firms can change t...

Free-Floating Carsharing (FFCS) systems are a promising concept to reduce the traffic volume in cities. However, spatial and temporal mismatches of supply an...

The solution to a biobjective optimization problem is composed of a collection of trade-off solution called the Pareto set. The present work studies the que...

The energy of a graph \(G\), denoted by \({\cal E}(G)\), is defined as the sum of the absolute values of all eigenvalues of \(G\). In this paper we stu...

Column generation algorithms for solving vehicle routing problems often rely on a relaxed pricing subproblem where routes may be non-elementary and which is ...

Mineral value chains or mining complexes involve mining, processing, stockpiling, waste management, and transportation activities. An integrated stochastic...

Deploying applications having many processes in a multi-cloud environment is challenging. The cloud manager has goals such as minimizing power consumption, w...
