In this paper, the problem of proactive deployment of cache-enabled unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs) for optimizing the quality-of-experience (QoE) of wireless devices in a cloud …

In this paper, the optimal trajectory and deployment of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles
(UAVs), used as aerial base stations to collect data from ground Internet of Things (IoT) …

Service caching refers to caching the necessary programs or/and the related databases for
performing computational tasks at edge servers, which has been considered to save both …

A model for dynamic assignment of loading bays for urban last-mile deliveries has been
developed. It aims to solve the problem of defining the most optimal number and location of …

Although k-anonymity is a good way of publishing microdata for research purposes, it cannot
resist several common attacks, such as attribute disclosure and the similarity attack. To resist …

This paper proposes an integrated approach for a biomethane supply chain from Organic
Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (OFMSW), addressing both strategic plant location-sizing …

The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in future wireless networks is gaining attention
due to their quick deployment without requiring the existing infrastructure. Earlier studies on …

In this paper we study the fuzzy clustering problem with capacity constraints. Despite of the
fact that the fuzzy clustering approach is widely encountered in the literature, the inclusion of …

We consider the clustering with diversity problem: given a set of colored points in a metric
space, partition them into clusters such that each cluster has at least ℓ points, all of which …

Complex computations and analyses on massive data sets can be impractical or infeasible.
Data reduction is a crucial problem in the era of big data to obtain a reduced representation …
