The efficient synthesis of circuits is a well-studied problem. Due to the NP-hardness of the problem, no optimal algorithm has been presented so far. However, the heuristics presented by several researchers in the past, which are also adopted by commercial ...
This thesis deals with models and methods for large scale optimization problems; in particular, we focus on decision problems arising in the context of seaport container terminals for the efficient management of terminal operations. Large-scale optimizatio ...
In many real-life optimization problems involving multiple agents, the rewards are not necessarily known exactly in advance, but rather depend on sources of exogenous uncertainty. For instance, delivery companies might have to coordinate to choose who shou ...
Multi-object tracking can be achieved by detecting objects in individual frames and then linking detections across frames. Such an approach can be made very robust to the occasional detection failure: If an object is not detected in a frame but is in previ ...

A new version of the weighted averages (WA) algorithm, called generalized WA, is introduced. Generalized WA exhibit a more compact formulation, devoid of iterative and recursive steps, and a wider range of applications. It is more robust, as it provides a ...
This paper shows the construction of an algorithm to calculate the roots of both, the cross-product of Bessel functions respectively of their first derivatives. The algorithm has shown globally convergent behavior for a large range of values of the argumen ...
In this paper we integrate at the tactical level two decision problems arising in container terminals: the berth allocation problem, which consists of assigning and scheduling incoming ships to berthing positions, and the quay crane assignment problem, whi ...
The primary objective of this paper is to introduce the adaptive highways algorithm, a path planning algorithm for vehicles moving on a grid. We consider a workspace that consists of a symmetric grid and a large number of vehicles that move on the grid to ...
We consider the problem of designing controllers for nonholonomic mobile robots converging to the source (minimum) of a field. In addition to the mobility constraints posed by the nonholonomic dynamics, we assume that the field is completely unknown to the ...
