Beyond Local Optimality of Buffer and Splitter Insertion for AQFP Circuits

Giovanni De Micheli, Heinz Riener, Siang-Yun Lee

Adiabatic quantum-flux parametron (AQFP) is an energy-efficient superconducting technology. Buffer and splitter (B/S) cells must be inserted to an AQFP circuit to meet the technology-imposed constraints on path balancing and fanout branching. These cells a ...

We study the admissibility problem in multivariate algebraic systems, such as ac electrical networks, where the power injection is quadratic in the state. The goal of such systems is to ensure that the state stays in some security set (e.g., magnitudes of ...

An integer programming approach to scheduling the transshipment of products at cross-docks in less-than-truckload industries

Mohammad Yousef Maknoon

This paper introduces an exact method to schedule the internal transshipment process at cross-docks in less-than-truckload industries. An integer programming formulation is presented to minimize the cost of double handling by synchronizing two types of dec ...

Optimal Software Patching Plan for PMUs

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Teklemariam Tsegay Tesfay

Phasor measurement units (PMUs) deployed to monitor the state of an electrical grid need to be patched from time to time to prevent attacks that exploit vulnerabilities in the software. Applying some of these patches requires a PMU reboot, which takes the ...
