Classical peer review has been subject to intense criticism for slowing down the publication process, bias against specific categories of paper and author, unreliability, inability to detect errors and fraud, unethical practices, and the lack of recognitio ...
We describe a general method of proving degree lower bounds for conical juntas (nonnegative combinations of conjunctions) that compute recursively defined boolean functions. Such lower bounds are known to carry over to communication complexity. We give two ...

This paper describes an employee scheduling system for retail outlets; it is a constraint-based system that exploits forecasts and stochastic techniques to generate schedules meeting the demand for sales personnel. Uncertain scenarios due to fluctuating de ...
This paper discusses the interactive design exploration of static equilibria using constraint-based graphic statics. Constraint-based graphic statics is a computerized framework improving the construction, the control and the capabilities of classical grap ...
Underwater inspection and maintenance (e.g. in the oil & gas industry) are demanding and costly activities for which ROV based setups are often deployed in addition or in substitution to deep divers - contributing to operations risks and costs cutting. How ...
Objectives: Many nanomaterials (materials with structures smaller than 100 nm) have chemical, physical and bioactive characteristics of interest for novel applications. Considerable research efforts have been launched in this field. This study aimed to stu ...
A well-known Swiss watch brand, active in the top-end luxury market, is facing a complex inventory deployment problem where watches of different models (more than 100 different models) must be dispatched first to wholesalers to finally reach the shops wher ...
The Codelco Andina copper mine is operating in high alpine terrain where avalanches pose a threat to the operations and the infrastructure. A dedicated avalanche warning service is responsible for opening and closing the heavily used access road. To suppor ...
This paper investigates the relations between three different properties, which are of importance in continuous-time optimal control problems: dissipativity of the underlying dynamics with respect to a specific supply rate, optimal operation at steady stat ...
This article aims to investigate the TED infrastructure for translating Science and Technology (S&T) projects (Callon, 1981, 1986; Law, 2006). The analysis uses the concepts of recognition (Honneth, 2012) and the public sphere as interpretative lenses for ...
