With the recent advances in wide band gap device technology, solid-state lighting (SSL) has become favorable for many lighting applications due to energy savings, long life, green nature for environment, and exceptional ...

When a new agent enters to an open multiagent system, bootstrapping its trust becomes a challenge because of the lack of any direct or reputational evidence. To get around this problem, existing approaches assume the same ...

The flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSP) is a generalization of the classical job shop problem in which each operation must be processed on a given machine chosen among a finite subset of candidate machines. The aim ...

In this chapter, we discuss a methodology to determine absorption and scattering cross sections of particles of different size and shape placed on substrates. This approach is based on the principles of discrete dipole ...

This paper investigates the budget variant of the discrete time/cost trade-off problem (DTCTP). This multi-mode project scheduling problem requires assigning modes to the activities of a project so that the total completion ...

In stochastic dynamic games, when the number of players is sufficiently large and the interactions between agents depend on empirical state distribution, one way to approximate the original game is to introduce infinite-population ...
