Participatory sensing (PS) is becoming a popular data acquisition means for interesting emerging applications. However, as data queries from these applications increase, the sustainability of this platform for multiple concurrent applications is at stake. ...
We present the results of an eye-tracking study on a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) lecture showing the relation between gaze variables and students’ performance and learning strategy. 40 students watched a MOOC lecture while their eye-movements were be ...
In this paper, we study the dynamic hybrid berth allocation problem in bulk ports with the objective to minimize the total service times of the vessels. We propose two exact methods based on mixed integer progra mming and generalized set partitionin g, and ...
Global warming is expected to intensify the hydrologic cycle. Documenting whether significant changes in the extreme precipitation regimes have already happened is consequently one of the challenging topics in climatic research. The high natural variabilit ...
In this paper, we study the applicability of active learning (AL) in operative scenarios. More particularly, we consider the well-known contradiction between the AL heuristics, which rank the pixels according to their uncertainty, and the user's confidence ...
This thesis investigates methodologies for improving the demand responsiveness of transportation systems through flexibility. The methodologies propose advances both in demand and supply models having a focus on supply-demand interactions. The demand side ...
In this paper we present a local search heuristic method for an integrated airline scheduling, fleeting and pricing model. The integrated model simultaneously optimizes the decisions of schedule design, fleet assignment, seat allocation, pricing and consid ...
Designing genetic networks with desired functionalities requires an accurate mathematical framework that accounts for the essential mechanistic details of the system. Here, we formulate a time-delay model of protein translation and mRNA degradation by syst ...
Substitutability and interchangeability in constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) have been used as a basis for search heuristics, solution adaptation and abstraction techniques. In this paper, we consider how the same concepts can be extended to soft con ...
In this work, we study the single machine scheduling problem with uncertain release times and processing times of jobs. We adopt a robust scheduling approach, in which the measure of robustness to be minimized for a given sequence of jobs is the worst-case ...
