Рассматривается одна из прикладных задач такого распространенного на практике направления, как управления переключениями режимов (в данном случае – тарифных...

Compute intensive applications featured as workflows necessitate Heterogeneous Processing Systems (HPS) for attaining high performance to minimize the turnaround time. Efficient scheduling of the workflow tasks is paramount to attain higher potentials of HPS and is a challenging NP-Complete...

Compared to conventional vehicles Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) provide fairly high fuel economy with lower emissions. To enhance HEV performance in terms of fuel economy and emissions, and ensure user satisfaction with driving performance, the need for simultaneous optimization for the main...

For many practical applications it is important to determine not only a numerical approximation of one but a representation of the whole set of globally optimal solutions of a non-convex optimization problem. Then one element of this representation may be chosen based on additional information...
