A pricing algorithm for the vehicle routing problem with soft time windows

Matteo Salani

The Vehicle Routing Problem with Soft Time Windows consists in computing a minimum cost set of routes for a fleet of vehicles of limited capacity that must visit a given set of customers with known demand, with the additional feature that each customer exp ...

PhotoMEA: A New Step Towards Total Optical Analysis of In Vitro Neuronal Networks

Diego Ghezzi

Light stimulation of neurons is a promising approach for investigating the molecular mechanisms at the basis of neuronal physiology and plasticity. In particular, flash photolysis of caged compounds offers the unique advantage of allowing to quickly change ...

Semi-Automated Design of a MOS Current Mode Logic Standard Cell Library from Generic Components

Yusuf Leblebici, Stéphane Badel, Ilhan Hatirnaz

This paper describes the design and semi-automated generation of a MOS current-mode logic standard cell library. A set of generic components implementing a wide range of combinational and sequential functions is proposed. The layout of the generic componen ...

A framework for component-based construction

Joseph Sifakis

We present an overview of results developed mainly at Verimag, by the author and his colleagues, on a framework for component-based construction, characterized by the following: the behavior of atomic components is represented by transition systems; compon ...

The security of VANETs

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Maxime Raya

In this work, we address the security of VANETs. We provide a detailed threat analysis and devise an appropriate security architecture. We also describe some major design decisions still to be made, which in some cases have more than mere technical implica ...

The 2 * 3 toolbox of organometallic methods for regiochemically exhaustive functionalization

A review. This review describes a concept aimed at rational and maximal structure proliferation. To this end, simple arom. or heterocyclic starting materials, often bulk chems., are converted into all regioisomerically possible polar organometallic interme ...

Postal Sector Overview and Dynamics

Matthias Finger, Patrick Mollet

This paper analyzes the change in the postal sector over the past 20 years and in particular the strategic drivers that are transforming the postal services industries such as institutional, market and technological developments. Taking the argument from h ...

From a Static Impossibility to an Adaptive Lower Bound: The Complexity of Early Deciding Set Agreement

Rachid Guerraoui, Bastian Pochon

Set agreement, where processors decisions constitute a set of outputs, is notoriously harder to analyze than consensus where the decisions are restricted to a single output. This is because the topological questions that underly set agreement are not about ...

Secure Positioning in Sensor Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Srdan Capkun

So far, the problem of positioning in sensor and ad hoc networks has been studied in a non-adversarial setting. We show that most of the proposed positioning algorithms are highly vulnerable to attacks from compromised network nodes and malicious (outside) ...

Are two Classifiers performing equally? A treatment using Bayesian Hypothesis Testing

We consider here how to assess if two classifiers, based on a set of test error results, are performing equally well. This question is often considered in the realm of sampling theory, based on classical hypothesis testing. Here we present a simple Bayesia ...
