We consider online convex optimizations in the bandit setting. The decision maker does not know the time- varying cost functions, or their gradients. At each time step, she observes the value of the cost function for her chosen action. The objective is to ...
Multi-objective optimization tools are becoming increasingly popu-lar in mechanical engineering and allow decision-makers to better understand the inevitable trade-offs. Mechanical design problems can however combine properties that make the use of optimiz ...
Many map-reduce frameworks as well as NoSQL systems rely on collection programming as
their interface of choice due to its rich semantics along with an easily parallelizable set of
primitives. Unfortunately, the potential of collection programming is not ...
One-way electric vehicle carsharing systems are receiving increasing attention due to their mobility, environmental, and societal benefits. One of the major issues faced by the operators of these systems is the optimization of the relocation operations of ...
The goal of query optimization is to map a declarative query (describing data to generate) to a query plan (describing how to generate the data) with optimal execution cost. Query optimization is required to support declarative query interfaces. It is a co ...
Data processing systems offer an ever increasing degree of parallelism on the levels of cores, CPUs, and processing nodes. Query optimization must exploit high degrees of parallelism in order not to gradually become the bottleneck of query evaluation. We s ...
Many analytics applications generate mixed workloads, i.e., workloads comprised of analytical tasks with different processing characteristics including data pre-processing, SQL, and iterative machine learning algorithms. Examples of such mixed workloads ca ...
The goal of multi-objective query optimization (MOQO) is to find query plans that realize a good compromise between conflicting objectives such as minimizing execution time and minimizing monetary fees in a Cloud scenario. A previously proposed exhaustive ...

Abstract The assembly process planning has been the subject of extensive scientific work, mainly due to the multiple aspects involved from geometrical matters to operational research concerns. However, very few issues about assembly technique selection are ...
